MIT’s Approach to Collaboration
Ekaterina ParamonovaMIT Graduate Student
4 Strategies:
1. Consulting
2. Research Partnerships
3. Nuclear Classes
4. Conferences
1. ConsultingWhat?• Professors consult industry,
Department of Energy, etc.
Why?• Learn about industry needs• Show our capabilities• Establish connections
1. Consulting
2. Research PartnershipsCASL: The Consortium for
Advanced Simulation of Light Water Reactors
What?• Department of Energy
Innovation Hub for Modeling & Simulation of Nuclear Reactors
Why?• Bring all of the stakeholders
together• Work on projects needed by
the industry
6
The CASL Team: A unique lab-university-industry consortium
Core partnersOak Ridge National LaboratoryElectric Power Research InstituteIdaho National LaboratoryLos Alamos National LaboratoryMassachusetts Institute of TechnologyNorth Carolina State UniversitySandia National LaboratoriesTennessee Valley AuthorityUniversity of MichiganWestinghouse Electric Company
“Forge a close, cohesive, and interdependent team
that is fully committed to a well-defined plan of
action”~230 people

2. Research Partnerships
3. Nuclear Classes offered at MITWhat?• Bring in professionals from
the US and abroad• MIT professors and industry
experts teach nuclear concepts
Why?• Establish connections• Train executives who have
little background in nuclear about nuclear
3. Nuclear Classes offered at MIT• Reactor Technology Course for Utility Executives• International Nuclear Leadership Education Program• Nuclear Plant Safety• Nuclear Operational Risk Management
4. Conferences and SymposiaWhat?• American Nuclear Society bi-
annual conferences• MIT-organized symposia• Present research and discuss
projectsWhy?• Establish connections
between industry, university faculty, regulator, students, etc.
4. Conferences and Symposia• MIT Symposium on Advanced LWR Fuels• Nuclear Power in 2050• Innovation In Nuclear Energy Technology• Second Tokyo Tech-MIT Symposium• Fifty Years of Nuclear Science and Engineering at MIT• Supercritical CO2 Power Cycle for Next Generation Systems• R&D Priorities for Advanced Reactors• Supercritical Water Reactors Review• MIT-Tokyo Tech Symposium on Innovative Nuclear Energy System• Next Generation Nuclear Plant• The Role of Simulation in the Nuclear Fuel Cycle• Nuclear Energy and the Hydrogen Economy• International Symposium on the Role of Nuclear Energy in a
Sustainable Environment
4 Strategies:
