Robert P Martin

Robert Martin leads the development of evaluation methodologies and models for the design and safety analysis of advanced nuclear power plant concepts at BWX Technologies, Inc. Through employment with B&W, AREVA (now Framatome), and Siemens Power Corp, he has been responsible for the development and regulatory defense of several safety analysis methodologies supporting the commercial nuclear power industry, including the first applications of best-estimate plus uncertainty methods to design-basis LOCA for both fuel and containment evaluations and for demonstrating plant resiliency to beyond design-basis severe accidents. His experience includes employment at the Idaho National Laboratory, working in the area of thermal system fluid modeling (RELAP5-3D). Dr Martin holds a PhD awarded by Penn State University, and a BS and MS from Texas A&M.

Dr. Martin has written short articles for the Safety Analysis Methods - Nuclear group on Linkedin. Visit https://www.linkedin.com/in/robertpmartin/detail/recent-activity/posts/
