In light of the current debate on the role of nuclear energy in the energy transition, does it still make sense to talk about this resource as a potential prospect to be exploited or will renewable sources alone be able not only to satisfy current energy demand, but also to solve all problems, both environmental and energetic, present and...

Hydrogen production is a topical issue in an energy scenario where decarbonization is a priority, especially with reference to the transport sector that has a great weight on global emissions. Starting from this consideration, GIF (Generation-IV International Forum) investigated the possibility to produce hydrogen by nuclear energy. The...

Accelerator Driven Systems (ADS) seem to be a good solution for safe nuclear waste transmutation. One of the most important challenges for this kind of machine is the target design, particularly for what concerning the target cooling system. In order to optimize this component a CFD-based approach has been chosen. After the definition of a...
