Dr. Mariano Tarantino graduated in Nuclear Engineering at the University of Pisa in 2004. Ph.D. in Nuclear and Industrial Safety in 2008. Since 2008 he has been a researcher at the Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Economic Development – ENEA in the field of liquid metal technologies for nuclear applications, mainly related to Generation IV - LFR. From 2010 to 2018 he was the Scientific Advisor of the Program Agreement between ENEA and the Ministry of Economic Development (Italy), where he coordinated all research and development activities on Gen IV nuclear fission systems refrigerated with liquid lead. Currently he is the head of the Nuclear Energy Systems Division of the ENEA Nuclear Department, member of the Executive Board of FALCON Consortium devoted to ALFRED DEMO LFR construction, and member of the newcleo R&D steering committee, aiming at supporting the development of LFR-AS-30 and LFR-AS-200. With a background in thermo-fluid dynamics, expert in nuclear technology and lead cooled fast reactors, with an experimental vocation, he coordinates various projects at a national and European level. Among those international efforts, Dr. Tarantino is the Chair of the Generation IV International Forum provisional Lead Fast Reactors System Steering Committee (GIF LFR pSSC).
