Romain Renoult

Romain Renoult is a researcher at Politecnico di Milano's Nuclear Reactors Group (NRGroup), with a focus on nuclear fuel and reactor core modeling. He has been involved in neutronic analysis of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) using Monte Carlo code (SERPENT) and fuel performance modeling for nuclear applications.

• Educational Background:
  • MSc (2013): "Extension and application of a fuel pin performance code"
  • MSc (2020): "Modelling of helium behaviour in oxide nuclear fuel for fuel performance analysis"
  • PhD (2018): "Modelling and assessment of inert gas behaviour in UO2 nuclear fuel for transient analysis"

His research spans reactor physics, fuel behavior under transient conditions, and reduced-order modeling techniques. Current R&D activities at NRGroup (2020–today) include fuel performance modeling, while earlier work (2015) focused on SMR core design at Ecole des Mines de Nantes. Collaborations include Alessandro Cechet and NRGroup colleagues.

NRGroup affiliations include roles as Research Assistant at Politecnico di Milano, contributing to GenIV reactor technologies like Lead-cooled Fast Reactors (LFRs).
