Deep geologic repository progress—2025 Update
Editor's note: This article has was originally published in November 2023. It has been updated with new information as of June 2025.
Outside my office, there is a display case filled with rock samples from all over the world. It contains a disk of translucent, orange salt from the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant near Carlsbad, N.M.; a core of white-and-bronze gneiss from the site of the future deep geologic repository in Eurajoki, Finland; several angular chunks of fine-grained, gray claystone from the underground research laboratory at Bure, France; and a piece of coarse-grained granite from the underground research tunnel in Daejeon, South Korea.
International Conference on Mathematics and Computational Methods Applied to Nuclear Science and Engineering (M&C 2025)
Piero Ravetto is currently professor emeritus of nuclear reactor physics at Politecnico di Torino, Italy, where he spent most of his career.
Over several decades, he has carried out research in the fields of neutron transport and nuclear reactor physics, contributing to the development of analytical and numerical methods, and he has been involved in the study of models and methods for the simulation of innovative nuclear systems (molten-salt reactors and accelerator-driven systems) and for the interpretation of kinetic experiments.
He is a fellow of the American Nuclear Society. He served as executive editor of the journal Annals of Nuclear Energy in the period 2019-2024.
