Since 1992 I have been involved in research of safety-related aspects of various nuclear reactors with fast neutron spectrum: first at Russian Kurchatov Institute and then at Swiss Paul Scherrer Institute. My current interests are safety analysis of sodium-cooled fast reactor, in particular neutronics and thermal-hydraulic aspects of sodium boiling.
