Intelligent Reactor for Innovative Safety (IRIS Lab.)

Brief Introduction for Research Areas

Objectives (Mission)

• IRIS lab aims to advance the understanding of key processes in nuclear energy systems, including heat generation, energy transport via reactor coolant, and the constraints these impose on reactor design. Research efforts are centered on fundamental thermal-hydraulic phenomena that underpin nuclear safety and system performance. In parallel, we pursue the development of advanced engineered safety features inspired by innovative concepts. The lab’s work integrates both experimental studies and analytical modeling as part of a comprehensive R&D approach.
