Abstract

Abstract: Saltfoss Energy, headquartered in Copenhagen, Denmark with offices in South Korea, developed the Molten Salt Power Barge, a floating nuclear power plant based on Molten Salt Reactor (MSR) technology. The development of the Power Barge is done in consortium with Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power (KHNP) and the shipbuilding company Samsung Heavy Industries.

In this presentation, Lubomir will present Saltfoss Energy and its mission and introduce the seaMSR-100 design. HE will then discuss some of the technical work done at Saltfoss, including chemistry R&D, experimental thermal hydraulics, and computational work, concluding with descriptions of the student projects done at Saltfoss Energy.

Bio: Lubomír Bureš works at Saltfoss Energy (formerly Seaborg Technologies) as senior nuclear engineer with a focus on multiphysics simulations and engineering design. Lubomír has been employed at Saltfoss for 4.5 years, his duties also including scientific research in molten-salt reactor dynamics and student supervision. Lubomír holds a PhD in computational fluid dynamics of two-phase flows from EPF Lausanne and Paul Scherrer Institute, Switzerland. Before his doctoral work, Lubomír obtained a master’s degree in nuclear engineering from ETH Zurich – EPF Lausanne (Switzerland) and a bachelor’s degree in nuclear engineering from the Czech Technical University in Prague.
