Ep 119: Metin Yetisir, Canadian Nuclear Laboratories

In this episode we discuss...


Metin’s background in mechanical engineering and personal
journey in the nuclear industry

A deep dive into CANDU (Canada Deuterium Uranium) reactors

The inner mechanisms that cause steam reactor tubes to fail
and how we’ve overcome this issue

Metin’s work in thermal performance and degradation studies

The neutronics and safety systems in PWRs and BDWs versus
those in light water reactors

A breakdown of supercritical water

How technologies and designs within supercritical coal plants
could potentially be recycled to create supercritical nuclear
plants

Lessons learned from light and heavy water reactors and how
Canada Nuclear Labs is applying those lessons to new technologies

The Pan-Canadian SMR Initiative and its mission to facilitate
global implementation
