The Nuclear Research and consultancy Group (NRG) is an internationally operating company with a staff of more than 320, of which 65% have an academic background, based on sites in Petten and Arnhem, the Netherlands. NRG performs independent research and provides expertise and services in support of the safe, ecological and peaceful use of nuclear installations and develops and applies spin-off technology for the non-nuclear markets.

NRG participates in technology development programs for advanced nuclear power reactors design and fuels. The neutronics of reactor systems is a key research area in NRG, with emphasis on Monte Carlo transport and nuclear data.

Relevant experience

NRG is involved in many European projects, both as coordinator and as participant. NRG has a long experience in the field of computational simulation of nuclear processes. This ranges from basic nuclear reaction physics, the evaluation of nuclear data libraries, to sophisticated 3-D modelling of reactor systems with Monte Carlo.

Scientific and technical personnel involved

  • Arjan Koning: Program manager at NRG. He coordinates general nuclear research at NRG and is specialized in nuclear data for innovative reactor systems, transmutation of radioactive waste, fusion and various industrial applications. He has been chairman of the JEFF (Joint Evaluated Fission and Fusion file) nuclear data project of the OECD/NEA. He has been chairman of the NEA Working Party on Evaluation Coordination (WPEC), which oversees all nuclear data file projects in the world, and is one of the Dutch members of the NEA Nuclear Science Committee. His international working experience includes positions at CEA, France, and Los Alamos National Laboratory, USA. On the technical level, he is specialized in theoretical and computational nuclear reaction simulation, for energies ranging from the unresolved resonance range up to several hundreds of MeV, and nuclear data library evaluation and validation for fission and fusion reactors and non-energy applications. He is (co-)author of about 300 publications ranging from basic nuclear reactions to applied nuclear science. He coordinates WP9 of CHANDA and participates in WP1, WP2, WP11, WP12 and WP13.
  • Dimitri Rochman: Consultant at NRG. He is specialized in nuclear data evaluation and validation in the same area as mentioned above. His international working experience includes positions at ILL and CEA, France and Los Alamos National Laboratory and Brookhaven National Laboratory, USA. He contributes to WP9, WP11 and WP12.
