Pioneering Role of IRIS in the Resurgence of Small Modular ReactorsFootnote**This paper summarizes the work of many who contributed their talent, time, and efforts to advance the IRIS project as well as the small modular reactor technology and nuclear power in a broader sense. The leading force in envisioning, guiding, and directing the IRIS project from its inception was Mario Carelli, chief scientist atWestinghouse Electric Company. Additionally, more than a hundred experts in their respective fields, from more than 20 IRIS team “core organizations” and about 10 additional organizations, participated in IRIS development, together with more than a hundred students who performed research related to IRIS. Their work is documented in more than 500 journal and conference papers, technical reports, and theses. Regretfully, it is not feasible to give the well-deserved credit by name to all individuals and organizations. Instead, we tried to point out only a selected subset of activities and contributions. A limited number of references provided at the end of the paper may serve as a starting point to IRIS literature search to interested readers.
