  • THERMAL-HYDRAULICS IN LIQUID METAL FAST REACTORS

    Dr. Antoine GerschenfeldCEA, France

    29 January 2020

  • Meet the Presenter

    Dr. Antoine Gerschenfeld earned his PhD from Ecole Normale Supérieure,

    France, in 2012, and has been coordinating R&D on the thermal-hydraulics of

    Sodium Fast Reactors at the Commissariat a l Energie Atomique et aus Energies

    Alternatives (CEA)'s Thermal-Hydraulics and Fluid Mechanics Section (STMF)

    since 2013. In that capacity, he has led the development of a subchannel

    thermal-hydraulics code (TrioMC) as well as the development of a tool for

    coupling coarse and fine models in a single reactor-scale simulation (MATHYS).

    He has also been involved in a number of collaborations: bilateral exchanges

    with DOE, JAEA and IPPE; EURATOM projects on liquid-metal reactors; and in

    international GIF, NEA and IAEA working groups.
