Frank Schäfer

Dr. Frank Schäfer serves as a Researcher at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR), specifically within the Reactor Safety department of the Institute of Resource Ecology. Based at the main campus in Dresden, Germany (Bautzner Landstraße 400, Building 250/117), he contributes to national and international nuclear safety research initiatives.

His expertise centers on reactor safety systems, accident scenario modeling, and radiation protection protocols. This work directly supports regulatory frameworks for nuclear power operations, with emphasis on thermal-hydraulic analysis and failure mode prevention in reactor designs.

As part of HZDR's Reactor Safety team, Schäfer collaborates with European nuclear regulatory bodies and industry partners on safety validation projects. His research integrates experimental data from HZDR's high-field infrastructure with computational modeling to enhance predictive capabilities for extreme operational conditions.
