Duties and Responsibilities

• Primary interest is in the area of neutronics, activation, radiation shielding, and waste management for both DT and D-3He fueled plants for terrestrial and space applications. Extensive experience in experimental and power plant designs. Involved in conceptual designs of numerous national and international fusion concepts.Currently leading the nuclear activity for ARIES and Z-Pinch projects.
• Principal responsibilities: provide multidimensional neutronics analysis for magnetic and inertial fusion plants; assess breeding potential of blanket designs; determine radiation damage and service lifetimes for structural materials of in-vessel components; design optimal shield to protect critical components (such as magnets and vacuum vessel); determine activation level and waste management approach (disposal, recycling, or clearance) for all components; develop analytical method for shielding of superconducting magnets using neutron buildup factors; perform 3-D streaming analysis for penetrations; determine radiation dose around plant and design necessary bioshield for personnel protection; provide radial builds, optimum dimensions, and compositions; integrate nuclear activity with economics and safety activities.

Personal Statement

The nuclear assessment has traditionally been the strength of the University of Wisconsin (UW) fusion research program. On the national level, the success of our nuclear effort led to the recognition of the UW Fusion Technology Institute (FTI) as the nationwide leader in the nuclear field. The numerous publications in these areas reflect our active involvement in 60 projects. Please visit our "UW Neutronics Center of Excellence": http://fti.neep.wisc.edu/UWNeutronicsCenterOfExcellence
