Bio
Dr Loughlin is a uniquely qualified nuclear physicist with over thirty-five years’ experience in fusion neutronics, nuclear integration and fusion on the world’s largest fusion experiments including JET, TFTR, MAST and ITER. He has many years of experience in neutron diagnostics for magnetic confinement fusion devices having performed measurements of world record fusion power production on three separate occasions. He was the co-ordinator of nuclear analysis and shielding for ITER from 2007 to 2022. He is an expert in radiation transport calculations.
