ABOUT DEPARTMENT
Department research in reactor physics is oriented mostly into
new methods for power and research reactor calculations, where
special attention is given to the calibration and benchmarking
of nuclear data and computational methods. Complete
power reactor core design package has been developed by
Department's researchers. This core design package is being
used to calculate fuel cycles for Krsko Nuclear Power Plant
since its initial startup. New “Rod Insertion” method for
control cluster worth measurement and relevant measuring
equipment, which enables significant reduction of time needed
for post-refuelling startup tests of a nuclear power plant was
developed at our department. Code packages and methods for
research reactors, like our Ljubljana TRIGA reactor were
developed. We also perform neutron transport
calculations for JET – Joint European Torus.
The main research area in Plasma physics laboratory is
development of plasma diagnostics inside fusion devices.
Our research in the field of medical physics is directed
towards the image-guided cancer therapy.
Semiconductor physics research is mostly oriented towards
better understanding of metal – semiconductor junction and
development of organic semiconductors.

Oct-2020

From 28th September to 2nd October, 2020 was organized Dedicated
Practical Educational Course ‘’Experimental reactor physics’’
for students from Uppsala University at JSI TRIGA reactor.
Course was first time, because of the covid-19 organized
remotely.

Jan-2019
During the two-week invited visit at the
University of Ljubljana,
Faculty of Mathematics and Physics,
Dr.
Alireza Haghighat from
Virginia Tech had the
course at Reactor center of the Jozef Stefan Institute,
Ljubljana.
For more information, you can see the
agenda for the course
"Particle Transport Methods and Application".
During his visit, discussions were held on further cooperation
between Virginia Tech and JSI.

From 26th to 30th March, 2018 was organized MIT Dedicated
Practical Educational Course "Experimental reactor physics" at
TRIGA reactor.
