Warum und woran ich forsche

Ernst-Arndt Reinecke is a nuclear safety expert with a focus on hydrogen risk mitigation. After receiving his Ph.D. from RWTH Aachen University in 1999, he was awarded a Scholarship as “Helmholtz Junior Scientist” at Forschungszentrum Jülich. He has since performed experimental and analytical research on the operational behavior of Passive Auto-catalytic Recombiners. Since 2017, he is Head of the Research Topic “Reactor Safety” of the Helmholtz Program NUSAFE at Jülich. Research topics include containment phenomena and processes during severe accidents in light water reactors such as aerosol behavior, hydrogen mitigation, wall condensation and thermal fluid dynamics.

In the course of his research, he has been involved in numerous national and international projects such as H2REKO, MITHYGENE, THINCAT, SARNET (“Severe Accident Research Network”), SAMHYCO-NET, and the OECD/NEA THAI projects. In the European Network HySafe (“Safety of Hydrogen as an Energy Carrier”) he led the work package “Integration of Experimental Facilities” and organized international workshops on measurement techniques in hydrogen safety research. He has been contributing to the recent OECD/NEA “Status Report on Hydrogen Management and Related Computer Codes” and the IAEA "Roadmap for the Commercial Deployment of Nuclear Hydrogen Production". Currently, he coordinates the European-Japanese project STACY ("Towards Safe Storage and Transportation of Cryogenic Hydrogen"), and holds responsibility for recombiner experiments performed in the European AMHYCO project. Since 2018, he is member of the European Hydrogen Safety Panel (EHSP) of the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking. He is founding member of the International Association HySafe and of the German National Alliance on Hydrogen Safety.
