Laboratory of Reactor Physics and System Behavior
LaboratoryThe Laboratory of Reactor Physics and System Behavior (LRS) at EPFL is closely linked to the Paul Scherrer Institute in Villigen, focusing on teaching and research in nuclear energy. LRS operates the CROCUS reactor on campus, offering students hands-on experience and research opportunities. Research activities include experimental programs on the CROCUS reactor and multi-physics modeling using modern infrastructures and open-source software. The lab collaborates with international partners and provides a platform for the analysis of nuclear systems. Current projects involve innovative thermophysical characterization, fuel performance modeling, and reactor design optimization. LRS also engages in educational activities by offering projects to bachelor and master's students.
