项目摘要

The NSERC Industrial Research Chair renewal is intended to expand on existing strengths and talents to undertake a major research endeavour in science and engineering of interest to industry. The program is supported by the federal government through the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) of Canada and through a consortium of industrial partners with an interest in nuclear energy. The objectives of nuclear research at McMaster University are aligned with the Federal Government's identified Science and Technology priorities of Environmental Science and Technology and Natural Resources and Energy as well as the Ontario Ministry of Research and Innovation's focus area of Clean Technology. The proposal is consistent with McMaster University's strategic plan which has identified nuclear energy as an emerging area which can potentially reduce man's carbon footprint an improve quality of living both at home and in emerging countries. The research focuses of the NSERC/UNENE Industrial Research Chair and Associate Chair is nuclear reactor safety, severe accident phenomena, and accident risk and mitigation. Both Chairs are regarded as national experts in these areas. Given the profound ramifications of the Fukushima nuclear accident in 2011, there is renewed interest from the public and private sectors on accident modelling and the use of simulations to develop/demonstrate the most effective mitigation methods. The drivers for this research program are to perform research related to nuclear reactor safety, generate top quality graduates for the nuclear industry, and provide expert resources for industry, government and media consultations.

NSERC 工业研究主席续任旨在扩大现有优势和人才，从事工业界感兴趣的科学和工程方面的重大研究工作。该计划是通过自然科学和工程研究委员会得到联邦政府的支持加拿大国家能源研究委员会（NSERC）以及对核能感兴趣的工业合作伙伴联盟。这麦克马斯特大学的核研究目标与联邦政府确定的目标一致环境科学技术和自然资源科学技术重点能源以及安大略省研究与创新部清洁技术的重点领域。这该提案与麦克马斯特大学的战略计划一致，该计划已将核能确定为新兴领域可能会减少人类的碳足迹并提高家庭生活质量以及新兴国家。 NSERC/UNENE 工业研究主席和副主席的研究重点是核反应堆安全、严重事故现象以及事故风险和缓解措施。两位主席均被视为国家主席这些领域的专家。鉴于 2011 年福岛核事故的深远影响，公共和私营部门对事故建模和使用模拟重新产生兴趣开发/展示最有效的缓解方法。该研究计划的驱动力是进行与核反应堆安全相关的研究，为核工业培养高素质的毕业生，以及为行业、政府和媒体咨询提供专家资源。
