Mark HoDr. Ho has been working as a reactor thermal hydraulic specialist at ANSTO for 12 years. He has been tracking the evolution of different molten salt reactor concepts for some time. His interest was sparked when he attended the Thorium Energy Conferene in Shanghai in 2012. With his colleagues at ANSTO, be wrote a molten salt reactor review paper in 2013 link1 and started recruiting PhD students to conduct research on the topic. Currently there are 3 PhD students, two of which are focusing at neutronic characteristics and one who is looking specifically at the thermo-hydraulic behaviour of the solid-fuel under the supervision of Professor Yeoh, liquid salt design that both SINAP and UCB are working on. Dr Ho also serves as a Vice President of the Australian Nuclear Association (ANA) which strongly lobbies for the development of nuclear power and has delivered talks on the topic of MSRs link2 and fast reactors link3. In the last few years, he has developed ties with UCB, MIT and SINAP, three institutes heavily involved with MSR developments. Read More Read Less
