Presentation of the Reactor Engineering Division, JSI to the URSJV

 

On Wednesday, August 23, 2017, employees of the Reactor Engineering Division, JSI visit the URSJV (Uprava Republike Slovenije za jedrsko varnost – Slovenian Nuclear Safety Administration) to present their work and strengthen their contacts with the URSJV.

At the beginning, prof. Leon Cizelj, head of the Reactor Engineering Division, described the division's mission, key areas of activity and ongoing projects. He emphasized the role of authorized nuclear safety organizations in terms of their funding, independence, professionalism, research activity, the impartiality of their choice by the holder of the authorization and other parameters that are important for the quality work of the authorized organizations. The division members are active in education both within ENEN (European Nuclear Education Network) and at the Department of Reactor Engineering at the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics. He emphasized the international involvement of the department and the cooperation with various organizations, and sought to find comparability and differences with other authorized organizations in the world. He set his presentation as a challenge for further debate.

Presented was the research of the employees of the division in the following areas:

 - nuclear thermodynamics,

 - fatigue materials related to the aging of equipment,

 - probabilistic safety analyses, their input data and their use,

 - simulations of severe accidents with core melting and related experiments,

 - heat transfer and mechanical loads in individual components of the fusion power plant.

For many of the aforementioned research areas, the Reactor Engineering Division is the only organization in Slovenia that is working on it.

In conclusion, we all agreed that knowledge, including research by the division, is an important factor in ensuring nuclear safety so far and should remain so in the future. With regard to strategic guidelines, what to explore and where to get financing for this, further cooperation of all stakeholders will be needed.
