About Daniel Cubicciotti
Daniel Cubicciotti (b. 1921) had a 47-year professional career as a researcher, including 20 years at SRI International and 13 years at the Electric Power Research Institute. Cubicciotti’s legacy to the nuclear industry was replete with innovation and usable information in the areas of fuel cladding materials, stress corrosion cracking, Pourbaix diagrams, and microbiologically influenced corrosion. Cubicciotti influenced numerous non-experts in corrosion to appreciate the importance of corrosion processes, and provided them with valuable tools to predict where or how an attack might occur and how to mitigate or prevent such problems.
