NSERC/UNENE Industrial Research Chair in Nuclear Safety and Thermalhydraulics

NSERC工业研究教席续期旨在扩大现有的优势和人才，以 从事工业界感兴趣的科学和工程方面的重大研究工作。该计划是 由联邦政府通过自然科学和工程研究理事会提供支持 加拿大国家核电研究中心(NSERC)和一个对核能感兴趣的工业伙伴组成的财团。这个 麦克马斯特大学的核研究目标与联邦政府确定的 环境科学技术和自然资源的科学技术优先事项 以及安大略省研究和创新部的清洁技术重点领域。这个 该提议与麦克马斯特大学的战略计划一致，后者已将核能确定为 潜在地可以减少人类碳足迹并提高家庭生活质量的新兴领域 在新兴国家也是如此。 NSERC/UNNE工业研究讲座和副讲座的研究重点是核反应堆 安全、严重事故现象、事故风险和缓解。这两个椅子都被认为是民族的。 这些领域的专家。鉴于2011年福岛核事故的深远影响， 公共和私营部门对事故建模和使用模拟重新产生了兴趣 制定/演示最有效的缓解方法。这项研究计划的驱动因素是 开展与核反应堆安全相关的研究，为核工业培养高素质的毕业生，以及 为行业、政府和媒体咨询提供专家资源。

The NSERC Industrial Research Chair renewal is intended to expand on existing strengths and talents to undertake a major research endeavour in science and engineering of interest to industry. The program is supported by the federal government through the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) of Canada and through a consortium of industrial partners with an interest in nuclear energy. The objectives of nuclear research at McMaster University are aligned with the Federal Government's identified Science and Technology priorities of Environmental Science and Technology and Natural Resources and Energy as well as the Ontario Ministry of Research and Innovation's focus area of Clean Technology. The proposal is consistent with McMaster University's strategic plan which has identified nuclear energy as an emerging area which can potentially reduce man's carbon footprint an improve quality of living both at home and in emerging countries. The research focuses of the NSERC/UNENE Industrial Research Chair and Associate Chair is nuclear reactor safety, severe accident phenomena, and accident risk and mitigation. Both Chairs are regarded as national experts in these areas. Given the profound ramifications of the Fukushima nuclear accident in 2011, there is renewed interest from the public and private sectors on accident modelling and the use of simulations to develop/demonstrate the most effective mitigation methods. The drivers for this research program are to perform research related to nuclear reactor safety, generate top quality graduates for the nuclear industry, and provide expert resources for industry, government and media consultations.
