Nuclear Reactor Engineer
About Rosalie Gagnon
At the Chalk River Laboratories retrofit in 2021, Rosalie Gagnon led the integration of real-time neutron flux harmonics monitoring into Canada’s aging CANDU-6 control systems, replacing legacy analog signal chains with FPGA-accelerated digital twin feedback loops that reduced scram false positives by 73% over two operational cycles. She doesn’t treat reactors as sealed black boxes but as living thermodynamic organisms: her notebooks are filled with hand-drawn thermal-hydraulic interface maps overlaid with operator gesture logs from shift debriefs. Trained in both nuclear physics and human factors engineering, she co-authored CNSC’s 2023 guidance on 'cognitive load thresholds in post-accident recovery protocols', which redefined how emergency procedure interfaces are validated, not just for correctness, but for perceptual salience under 4G acceleration and steam fog conditions. Her work bridges the gap between deterministic safety analysis and the messy, embodied reality of control room decision-making.
