Ehud GreenspanProf. Greenspan's research spans over a large variety of nuclear engineering related disciplines including theoretical reactor physics, experimental reactor physics, computational methods development, optimization methods for identifying the minimum ossible critical mass, criticality safety analysis, optimal design of radiation shields, fusion reactor blankets and medical installations, advanced fusion fuel cycles, fusion-fission hybrid reactors, advanced fission reactors and nuclear fuel-cycle conception, design and analysis.
Prof. Greenspan has been a Principal Investigator on studies of dozens of advanced nuclear systems, among which those corresponding to Generation-IV reactor technologies and others being categorized as Small Modular Reactors (SMR), as well as leading a multi-institutional team that developed a preliminary conceptual design of the Encapsulated Nuclear Heat Source (ENHS) - a nuclear battery-type reactor that is free of pumps, pipes and valves in the primary reactor system. Prof. Greenspan's research is documented in 400+ refereed publications, book chapters, and patents/collaborative patents. Read More Read Less
