What do we specialise in?

The main areas of activities are:

• neutron physics analysis of reactor cores with particular stress on research reactors:
  • fuel conversion studies,
  • feasibility and safety of test and irradiation rigs.
• calculation of reactor core operational history, operational transients and core composition for various types of reactors, including GEN IV,
• activities related to development Gas Cooled Reactor Technology,
• activities related to nuclear cogeneration.

Range of the reactor core neutronic analyses:

• operational safety analysis of reactor core:
  • reactivity excess,
  • fuel reloading,
  • fuel burnup monitoring.
• power distribution monitoring,
• safety calculations of Spent Fuel Storage and Transport Containers,
• isotopic content and radiotoxicity of Spent Fuel as function of time.

The main areas of activities are:

• safety analyses of nuclear facilities – Safety assessment,
• thermal-hydraulic analyses in operational states and design basis accidents:
  • analysis of phenomena occurring in power reactors, research reactors, experimental installations and other facilities,
  • system scale analyses and calculations of particular components,
  • development of models of phenomena, development and validation of computational tools.

• analyses of failures within extended design conditions and severe accidents:
  • phenomena occurring in the core and the reactor vessel,
  • phenomena occurring in the containment,
  • assessment of potential releases of radioactive substances from power reactors or spent fuel storages – source term quantification.
• nuclear fuel cycle analyses:
  • spent fuel recycling, transmutation,
  • fuel properties studies.

The main areas of activities are:

• risk analyses related to nuclear and chemical installations, transportation of dangerous substances by road, rail, water or industrial pipelines,
• management of hazards for human health and environment, and computerized decision support systems in case of major industrial accidents,

• probabilistic safety analyses of nuclear reactors,
• advanced computer modelling of physical processes, in particular computational fluid dynamics and, transport and dispersion of dangerous substances in environment.
