Overview

The NEMO (Nuclear Engineering MOdelling) research group has been created by a group of faculties of the Energy Deartment at Politecnico di Torino, sharing a common research interest in the various aspect of mathematical and numerical modelling, with a specific focus on the nuclear engineering field. The NEMO staff has expertise in the fields of: -Physics and engineering of current and innovative fission nuclear systems; -Deterministic and Monte Carlo methods for neutral and charged particles transport; -Superconducting magnets and cryogeny for nuclear fusion reactors; -Analysis of high thermal flux components in nuclear fusion reactors; -Plasma-wall interactions in fusion reactors; -Computational thermal Fluid Dynamics (CFD) applications to nuclear and solar systems; -Probabilistic Risk Asssessment (PRA) and reliability analysis for fission and fusion plants; The NEMO group is involved in international research projects (e.g. H2020 programs on MSR and CSP), national and international collaborations and contracts.
