You are invited to join a technical talk on the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine held by Professor Eugene Shwageraus and the Cambridge Nuclear Energy Centre.
Professor Eugene Schwageraus
This talk is prompted by recent concerns in the media about the status of the cooling system and safety of the facility. The content of the lecture includes an overview of the design of the VVER reactor, lay-out and status of the plant and its six reactors, and potential risk factors concerning the cooling system, shelling, and power outage. After the lecture, there will be an opportunity to ask questions. The aim of this talk is to inform a technical audience and provide context to the media messaging.
The talk will be given by Eugene Shwageraus, Professor in Nuclear Energy Systems Engineering at the Cambridge University Engineering Department and Course Director for the MPhil in Nuclear Energy. Professor Shwageraus’ research is focussed on physics and engineering of conventional and advanced nuclear power reactors, with a particular interest in Monte Carlo methods applied to radiation transport, as well as modelling of nuclear systems to assist policy decision making.
No registration is needed.
