BC Innovator: Catalina Lopez-Correa

Science World at TELUS World of Science

“Innovation is a way to do things differently, and it’s not just about science, it’s about everything in life.

Ensuring Oil And Gas Pipeline Integrity Using Neutron Beams

Canadian Institute for Neutron Scattering

The Canadian energy sector has developed standard practices to ensure that oil and gas pipelines remain safe as they age. For the past decade, these standard practices have been influenced by a team of researchers, including one University of Alberta professor and his industrial partners, who use neutron beams to better understand stress and corrosion in pipeline steel. Despite an increasing focus on clean energy sources, much of today’s North American society continues to be fueled by oil and
