Nuclear Reactor Systems Engineer
About Michael Sanders
In 2019, Michael Sanders led the redesign of the primary coolant flow distribution manifold for the NuScale VOYGR small modular reactor, cutting thermal stress cycling by 43% and enabling extended operational cycles without refueling interruptions. His approach treats reactor systems not as isolated components but as interdependent physiological networks, where a valve’s hysteresis curve affects neutron economy, and sensor latency in the boron injection system reshapes scram timing margins. He’s spent over a decade reverse-engineering failure modes from IAEA incident reports, not to assign blame, but to map latent coupling paths between control rod drive mechanisms and digital I&C firmware updates. Based out of Idaho National Laboratory’s Advanced Test Reactor complex, he routinely validates models against real-time gamma spectroscopy data from irradiated fuel assemblies, refusing to trust simulations that haven’t survived three successive transient tests under asymmetric load conditions.
