ABOUT FULVIO MASCARI

Dr. Mascari technical field is the nuclear reactor thermal-hydraulics in reactor coolant system/containment and their coupling and the analyses of severe accident phenomena. In relation with that, he is expert on the use of best estimate thermal hydraulic system code (RELAP5 and TRACE) and severe accident code (ASTEC and MELCOR). Currently he is investigating the severe accident phenomenology in PWR and BWR reactor type and the aerosol behavior in the containment of Sodium-Cooled Fast Neutron Reactor by using severe accident codes. He is currently investigating the application of the probabilistic method to propagate input uncertainty by using DAKOTA and the TRACE and MELCOR code in a SNAP environment/architecture. He has experience in the assessment of thermal hydraulic system codes, in particular RELAP5 and TRACE, and the assessment of severe accident code, in particular MELCOR and ASTEC-CPA. He is expert on the analyses of the scaling issues. Specialties: Systems Thermal-Hydraulics; Thermal hydraulic and neutron kinetic coupled analyses; Integral small modular reactors; Natural Circulation Phenomena in Water Cooled Nuclear Power Plant; Helical coil steam generator modeling; Boron Dilution Analyses; Scaling Issue; Severe accident analyses; Uncertainty analyses; RELAP5 code user, TRACE code user - TRACE/PARCS coupled analyses; ASTEC code users; MELCOR code User.
