Sergii Nichenko

Dr. Sergii Nichenko is a Researcher in the department of Nuclear Safety & Multiphase Flows at ETH Zürich. His work focuses on advanced nuclear reactor systems, particularly molten salt reactors (MSRs), thermodynamic modeling of materials under extreme conditions, and severe accident analysis in nuclear facilities. He contributes to international collaborations on reactor safety and innovative energy technologies.

Research interests center on nuclear safety, materials behavior in molten salt environments, thermodynamic database development, and computational modeling of multiphase flows. His work bridges atomic-scale materials science with large-scale reactor safety simulations.

Recent research trends emphasize MSR design validation through experiments like VERDON-1, fission product release mechanisms, and aerosol formation dynamics. His publications also address evaporation phenomena in molten salt fuels and corrosion behavior of materials in high-temperature reactors.

No scientific awards are listed. He actively participates in ETH Zürich's nuclear energy research initiatives, focusing on next-generation reactor concepts and safety assurance strategies.

His research group collaborates with industry partners and international organizations to advance nuclear innovation, with a particular emphasis on sustainable energy solutions and mitigating climate change impacts through advanced reactor technologies.
