Dieter Stegemann

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dieter Helmut Stegemann (born August 5, 1932 in Dortmund ; † June 16, 2013 in Hanover ) was a German physicist and university professor .

Live and act

After graduating from high school in Dortmund, Stegemann studied at the University of Göttingen . In Göttingen he became active in the Holzminda fraternity in the summer semester of 1952 . After graduation and Dr.-Ing. at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at the TH Karlsruhe , he became a private lecturer . From 1962 to 1969 he was head of department at the Institute for Neutron Physics and Reactor Technology at the Karlsruhe Nuclear Research Center . The inaugural lecture of his habilitation he held at the Faculty of Mechanical and Process Engineering at the University of Karlsruhe on 19 July 1967. From 1 April 1969, he took over as Professor of the Department of Nuclear Engineering at the Department of Nuclear Engineering and Nondestructive Testing of the Technical University of Hanover . Here he also became director of this institute.

His teaching area mainly included the basics of nuclear technology , construction and design of nuclear reactors , instrumentation and control of nuclear reactors, reactor safety and the nuclear fuel cycle. His research areas included: Reactor operating behavior, reactor safety, thermodynamic investigations for water and liquid metal-cooled nuclear reactors, reactor noise analysis, non-destructive testing of reactor components. Stegemann was the owner of several patents , including for measuring processes and measuring devices for the material characterization of semi-finished products and machine components. and for Method for the automatic iterative process optimization of drawing processed in presses. In 1975 he became a member of the scientific advisory board of the Association of Large Power Plant Operators (VGB), in 1977 of the Board of Trustees of the VGB Research Foundation, in 1979 of the Board of the Nuclear Technology Society (KTG) and in 1980 of the Presidium of the German Atomic Forum .

In 1999 he signed the memorandum of German scientists on the planned nuclear phase-out.
