Fabio Alcaro

I work in the thermal-hydraulic analysis expert group of NRG. My duties include: Lead thermal-hydraulic engineer and Project Manager for consultancy in support of the design and safety assessment of nuclear power plants for commercial and research projects; Model validator in the framework of sensitivity and uncertainty quantification of nuclear thermal-hydraulic models. I am also the Lead python developer of interface toolboxes for the coupling of the proprietary SPECTRA code with external software.

I worked in the thermal-hydraulic analysis expert group. My duties included: development of the full thermal-hydraulic model of the molten-salt concept plant at the HFR site of NRG; development of the complete safety analysis of the target irradiation facilities for the medical isotope production at the HFR site of NRG; development of complete analyses for international R&D projects (OECD-NEA, EU FP6, IAEA) in the frame of safety assessment of nuclear plants and design of innovative reactors.

Definition and implementation of numerical schemes to the analysis of transient scenarios of 4th generation reactors (with focus on SFR and ADS). The aim was to significantly reducing the computational cost of the simulation of coupled neutronic/thermal-hydraulic accident scenarios.
