Approaches for Small Modular Reactor Commercialization

Dr. Chi Sung, Song (Ph.D. at Seoul National University) has twenty-four years experience as a mechanical engineer and a director at the Korea Institute of Machinery & Materials (KIMM). He has an interest in broad policy issues such as the prospects for achieving stated cost, safety, security, core life time, and nonproliferation goals; how licensing approaches may need to be modified to address small modular reactors (SMR)s, and the practical commercialization strategy of SMRs. Also, his interests cover plant engineering, including chemical processing, desalination, and nuclear power plants.
