TechnicAtome was rewarded during the IGORR exhibition

Congratulations to Simon Nicolas, an R&D Design Engineer in the field of neutronics, who received the award for best poster at the IGORR conference held December 3–7 in Sydney, Australia.

The poster presented the analyses and conclusions of a paper co-authored with Laurent Chabert and Laurent Manifacier (neutronics specialists) titled “A Dummy Core for V&V and Education & Training Purposes at TechnicAtome: In- and Ex-Core Calculations.”
Four other articles were also the subject of oral technical presentations during the conference.

The international IGORR group was formed in 1990 to facilitate the sharing of knowledge and experience among institutions, research centers, universities, operators, and industry representatives involved in the design, construction, and promotion of research reactors (both existing facilities and new construction projects).
Every 18 months, it brings together more than 150 participants from over 25 countries worldwide, spanning every continent. The conference is held on a rotating basis in Europe, the Americas (North or South), or Asia.
