Research at the Delft University of Technology

Research at the TU Delft focusses on reactor physics - the design and improvement of nuclear reactors to further enhance the sustainability of nuclear energy. A central issue are new reactor types with improved safety concepts, higher efficiences and reduction of the amount and lifetime of the nuclear waste. High temperature reactors are studied for their excellent safety qualities and future significance for hydrogen production. Furthermore, attention is paid to an improved control of the process dynamics during normal operation and during disturbances.
