Page 19 - Thermal Hydraulics Aspects of Liquid Metal Cooled Nuclear Reactors

xviii Preface

Tichelen, I like to thank you for all the years of being in this field together, working out
our ambitious plans, flying in “strange machines,” living our dreams, drinking “one
more” beer, and just being friends. Finally, it would not have been possible to realize
this textbook without the people supporting me at home. Thanks a lot to my parents
who have always encouraged me to take my own decisions, to follow my own path,
and supported me in all my endeavors. Last but certainly not least, thanks to my wife
Susanna and my two boys Casper and Jorim, who have to cope with me at home,
whether I am jolly, stressed, busy, or tired. They are always there to support me.
You know I will always love you. And like no other, you know it has always been
in the back of my mind, dreaming about going to the corners of time and wanting
to fly in strange machines.
