Activity and Skills
Highly specialized in the analysis of neutron and radiation transport problems by the use of three-dimensional Monte Carlo tools, mainly MCNP familiy of codes. Main capabilities in the area of fusion include:
- Design of shielding elements, design of buildings layout for the installation of radiation sources, design of shielding materials for fusion spectrum
- Analysis of neutron damage, neutron activation, neutron heating and gas production
- Analysis of residual dose at shutdown due to the neutron activation of the shielding materials and of the equipment near the source. Waste Management
- Determination of residual dose maps. Design of shielded containers
- Licensing of Nuclear and Radioactive Facilities
