The Committee of Experts
Serge MARGUET
Serge Marguet graduated in Industrial Fluid Mechanics from ENSHG in Grenoble in 1986, and in Numerical Methods from ENSIMAG in 1987. He joined EDF/R&D in September 1987. He has been a neutronics expert at EDF since 2003 and a reactor physics expert at I2EN since 2014. He has been an expert in nuclear reactor technology at the French Public Investment Bank (BPI) since 2022.
Between 1987 and 2014, he developed neutronic and thermal-hydraulic codes for Pressurized Water Reactors for EDF/R&D, the DARWIN fuel cycle code and the EFLUVE vessel fluence calculation code, before working on various severe accident projects for R&D (more specifically on the problems of core and hydrogen degradation). In 2003, he was appointed accident neutronics expert, and took part in the development of the COCCINELLE reactor physics code for EDF’s official calculation chain. In 2021, he specialized in particle transport in reactors.
Between 1999 and 2021, he also taught reactor physics and the operation of nuclear plants at INSA Centre-Val de Loire in Bourges, and neutronics and reactor physics at EDF’s Institut de Transfert de Technologie. He then taught reactor technology in the Master of Nuclear Energy program at INSTN in Saclay, and, from 2024, nuclear reactor physics at the Centre de Formation d’Apprentis de l’Enseignement Supérieur – Hubert Curien in Bourges, and at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Techniques Avancées (ENSTA) in Palaiseau.
He is the author of numerous works in the nuclear field, including the following reference works.
