Quarto appuntamento con gli webinars organizzati dal corso magistrale di ingegneria nucleare dell’Università di Pisa all’interno del Progetto ENEN++ La prossima sessione con McMaster University. Il prossimo Venerdì 10 Marzo 2023 alle 15:00 ora italiana con collegamento MSTeams a questo link. David Novog terrà un intervento dal titolo The silver bullet syndrome: action and inaction on low carbon energy.   Ecco la locandina: Qualcosa sul relatore: Dr. David Novog is an expert in safety analysis methods and uncertainty quantification. He holds an Industrial Research Chair in Nuclear Safety and has been a professor at McMaster since 2006. From 1998-2005 he worked at Ontario Hydro, OPG, Nuclear Safety Solutions and AMEC in the areas of reactor physics, thermal hydraulics and reactor trip assessment. Prior to these positions he was a visiting researcher at Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in Japan on their APWR project. His current research is focused on experimental and analytic issues related to fuel integrity, severe accident modelling, and emergency planning. He has large projects underway on improved maintenance instrumentation and applied radiation imaging.

Webinar UniPi: NINE R&D projects

Terzo appuntamento con gli webinars organizzati dal corso magistrale di ingegneria nucleare dell’Università di Pisa all’interno del Progetto ENEN++ Il prossimo appuntamento con NINE, Nuclear and INdustrial Engineering. Il prossimo Venerdì 24 Febbraio 2023 alle 15:00 ora italiana con collegamento MSTeams a questo link. Alessandro Petruzzi presenterà le attività di R&D.     Ecco la locandina:   Qualcosa sul relatore: Alessandro Petruzzi is the President of NINE and current Head of the Plant Thermal-Hydraulics Area devoted to safety analysis and licensing of NPP. Prior to join NINE, he worked over 9 years in the Nuclear Research Group of San Piero a Grado (GRNSPG) and he spent the year 2004 working as an intern-assistant in the Pennsylvania State University (USA). He got his PhD Degree in “Nuclear and Industrial Safety” Course of the “Leonardo da Vinci” Doctoral Engineering School in 2008, discussing the thesis titled “Development and Application of Methodologies for Sensitivity Analysis and Uncertainty Evaluation of the Results of the Best Estimate System Codes applied in Nuclear Technology”. The methods for uncertainty and sensitivity analysis applied to thermal-hydraulics system codes constitute his main interest as well as the assessment of computer codes and the development of sensitivity and uncertainty methods. He was involved in several activities connected with safety and licensing process, including the preparation of Chapter 15 of Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) of Atucha-2 NPP (Argentina), Hanhikivi-1 NPP (Finland) , the support to the Generic Design Assessment (GDA) Step-3 and 4 for the HPR-1000; the participation as expert to the Generic Reactor Safety Review (GRSR) service organized by IAEA for several NPP design (more than 10 different NPP). He is the founder and director of the NINE Multi-Level Training Program which includes several courses organized each year and devoted to Scaling, Uncertainty and 3D COuPled Code Calculation, Models and Methods for Advanced Reactor Safety Analysis, Nuclear Reactor Safety Hand-On Training. He was involved also as expert in the Safety Assessment Education and Training (SAET) Programme of IAEA which has been designed to support IAEA Member States with development of required safety assessment capacity and competency.
