The Reactor Technology Integration Group (ReTI) is part of the Department of Engineering Physics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Our core mission is to perform research to increase the cost competitiveness of nuclear power – the key driver of its current and future success – and hence to expand/maintain the amount of nuclear energy used and therefore contribute to climate change mitigation and energy security.
We have two major focus areas:
- The development and improvement of nuclear reactor technology through design and modelling
- The flexible operation of nuclear reactors and their integration with other energy systems – to increase the revenue that can be generated through nuclear power.
We are looking for new graduate students and would also consider hiring at postdoctoral level. If you are interested in learning more and/or joining the group, please check out the Q&A.
