Prof. Juhani Hyvärinen

SARENA Coordinator - LUT

Full professor of Modelling and head of Nuclear Engineering at LUT, M.Sc. in Power Plant Technology (1988), D.Sc. (Tech) in Nuclear Engineering (1996), both from LUT. He has working experience both from STUK (1988-2007), the Finnish Nuclear Regulatory Authority, and Fennovoima, a new nuclear power company. At STUK he was responsible for safety assessment of existing and new nuclear power plant concepts, addressing emerging safety issues, developing and applying safety regulations for new reactors. In Fennovoima he served as the Chief Nuclear Officer until end of 2013, being responsible for reactor technology, safety, fuel and nuclear waste management. His research cover nuclear reactor thermal hydraulics and nuclear safety, including advanced modelling of thermal hydraulic phenomena in nuclear reactors.
