Reactor Core Monitoring / Lecture Notes in Energy Bd.58 (PDF)

Dr. Mihály Makai has worked for 39 years in the field of core calculation models, and process monitoring of commercial nuclear power plants at the Atomic Energy Research Institute, Budapest, Hungary. Currently he is a professor emeritus at the Atomic Energy Research Institute, Budapest, Hungary. Between 2003 - 2014 he worked as professor of physics at the Nuclear Institute of the Budapest Technical University giving lectures on reactor physics, transport theory, and safety analysis. He has worked as invited scientist at Argonne National Laboratory, the Saclay Centre de Recherche (France), the Demokritos Research Centre (Athens). Dr. M. Makai has more than 30 years experience with nuclear power plant and research reactor technology, especially in core monitoring, process monitoring, instrumentation and control. He also headed the Chemical Physics Department of the Atomic Energy Research Institute between 2000 - 2003, and he served as Deputy Dean at the faculty of Natural Sciences of Budapest Technical University, in which he worked on safety analysis problems. Between 1983-87 he worked in the VERONA project, and afterwards on the reactor calculation complex KARATE. He has published six books and book chapters, above 40 papers in reputed international journals and co-authored a book on reactor core calculations. In addition he has presented 83 papers at international conferences and published several reports as open research reports.
