Chirayu Batra, Chief Technology Officer of TerraPraxis, discussed the importance of understanding the Physics and Technology of the advanced and innovative reactors as a vital step to building the workforce that will be needed to operate these reactors. Using simulation tools at different levels - educational, engineering, and full scope - works together to provide an in-depth understanding of underlying physics concepts and the required operator training.
The workshop brought together experts from 38 countries to meet the growing demand for energy and to mitigate global climate challenges.
Chirayu, from TerraPraxis, also conducted a half-day workshop to train participants on the use of IAEA's integral PWR simulator. Integral PWR is one of the leading design concepts currently being commercialized by SMR vendors.
