Career in "Reactor Physics and Core Design"

[QUOTE="Astronuc, post: 6071703, member: 15685"] Reactor physics and core design is a very specialized field with few practitioners world-wide, unlike CFD, which is relatively huge. For commercial systems, the fuel suppliers or utilities have their own groups doing core design and related safety analysis. The only independent, non-fuel-supplier, of which I'm aware is Studsvik-Scandpower; there may be others, but SS provides codes to utilities for commercial systems. Otherwise, national research organizations, e.g., US DOE, or the national labs, or France's CEA, have programs. France's EdF also develops and employs methods. In the US, the American Nuclear Society (ANS) has the Reactor Physics Division (RPD), which hosts Physor, an international meeting of reactor physicists. [URL]http://rpd.ans.org/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
