Section Physics of Nuclear Reactors (PNR)
|
The Section Physics of Nuclear Reactors (Department of Radiation, Radionuclides & Reactors) of the Faculty of Applied Sciences analyses and designs innovative nuclear reactor systems to improve the safety and economy of nuclear energy. The scope ranges from Advanced Boiling Water Reactors with natural circulation, High Temperature Gas-cooled Reactors, Fluidized bed nuclear reactors to Accelerator Driven Systems.

Advanced experimental and calculational methods are being developed and applied to this research. We aspire to keep control on the whole calculational field from evaluated nuclear data files to time-dependent reactor core calculations and neutronics coupled with thermal-hydraulics. In the field of radiation transport, the department aims at the implementation and application of new variance-reduction techniques in Monte-Carlo calculations to widen the applicability of these methods. In addition, research is being performed on 'spin-off' topics like dynamics of multiphase systems, thermal hydraulics, borehole logging, and two-phase flow diagnostics. |
