Do you know any professors working on Accelerator-Driven Nuclear Reactors?

Main Question or Discussion Point

I have just finished my PhD in Statistics. My Masters Dissertation was on the topic of Accelerator Driven Nuclear Energy Systems. I would be very interested in continuing research on the subject as a post-doctoral student.

I don't know anybody personally (beyond casual), but you could look at CEN/SCK:

There are programs in the US, Europe and Asia.

I believe UIUC, U of Wisconsin, UCal-Berkeley, MIT, Texas A&M, U of Florida-Gainesville, and others have ADS in their Nuclear Eng programs.

Thank you very much. Could anyone please give me some information on professors in Eastern USA working in that area.

How far east. Are Illinois or Wisconsin considered to far west?

Meanwhile - check some of these theses - http://www.studentpipeline.org/afci/ms/theses.html [Broken] - which include some ADS topics and which give one an idea where research is being done.

I'll see if I can identify specific programs later.

Hi there, our group at Manchester University is working on ADSRs, and we have a test accelerator being constructed at Daresbury Laboratory to test a new proton driver concept. Please drop us a line at: http://www.hep.manchester.ac.uk/accelerators/
