Abstract Brochure
Chair's Welcome: Professor Ali Tehrani FNucI
The 6th Modelling in Nuclear Science and Engineering Seminar is to bring together the nuclear community to share innovative and different ways of adopting modelling to help improve design and operation of facilities and protect society by improving safety of nuclear plants and facilities.
The aim of scientific modelling as an activity is to make features and performance of the design easier to understand, quantify, visualise, or simulate by adopting rigorous scientific methods, and is applied across all kinds of industries and walks of life.
This seminar will provide a platform to highlight exciting new modelling methods and applications to help industry members and those who may be thinking about a career in modelling for the nuclear industry.

Ana Gomez Cobo
Head of Safety Assessment at International Atomic Energy Agency
Ana has been working in nuclear safety for 38 years. From 1995 to 2000, she worked at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) where she was responsible for activities on probabilistic safety assessment, safety performance indicators and safety related maintenance for nuclear power plants.
Ana joined the UK Office for Nuclear Regulation in 2000 where she was Head of Advanced Nuclear Technologies (2016 – 2020) and Head of HPR1000 Regulation (2016 – 2022). She led the Generic Design Assessment (GDA) of the UK HPR1000 reactor, a large project that concluded in January 2022 with the issuing of a Design Acceptance Confirmation for the UK HPR1000.
In May 2022, Ana joined IAEA as Head of the Safety Assessment Section (SAS). SAS is one of the five sections within the Division of Nuclear Installation Safety (NSNI) in the IAEA Department of Nuclear Safety and Security. As Head of SAS Ana leads a team of 20 staff to deliver the needs of the IAEA Member States in the areas of ‘design safety’ and ‘safety assessment methods and tools’ covering existing, evolutionary and innovative reactors, including small modular reactors, non-water-cooled reactors, transportable nuclear power plants, and fusion facilities. Ana is based at the IAEA Headquarters in Vienna.
