In this episode we discuss... Metin’s background in mechanical engineering and personal journey in the nuclear industry A deep dive into CANDU (Canada Deuterium Uranium) reactors The inner mechanisms that cause steam reactor tubes to fail and how we’ve overcome this issue Metin’s work in thermal performance and degradation studies The neutronics and safety systems in PWRs and BDWs versus those in light water reactors A breakdown of supercritical water How technologies and designs within supercritical coal plants could potentially be recycled to create supercritical nuclear plants Lessons learned from light and heavy water reactors and how Canada Nuclear Labs is applying those lessons to new technologies The Pan-Canadian SMR Initiative and its mission to facilitate global implementation
