In this episode we discuss...

• Metin’s background in mechanical engineering and personal journey in the nuclear industry
• A deep dive into CANDU (Canada Deuterium Uranium) reactors
• The inner mechanisms that cause steam reactor tubes to fail and how we’ve overcome this issue
• Metin’s work in thermal performance and degradation studies
• The neutronics and safety systems in PWRs and BDWs versus those in light water reactors
• A breakdown of supercritical water
• How technologies and designs within supercritical coal plants could potentially be recycled to create supercritical nuclear plants
• Lessons learned from light and heavy water reactors and how Canada Nuclear Labs is applying those lessons to new technologies
• The Pan-Canadian SMR Initiative and its mission to facilitate global implementation
