Uranium Fission Course
Gain mastery in uranium fission, from core physics to safety protocols. This course equips physics professionals with practical skills to confidently analyse neutron life cycles, manage reactivity control, integrate thermal-hydraulics, and operate research reactors effectively. It covers essential concepts like fission yields, energy release, cross-sections, and safety limits for reliable, documented performance in light-water reactors.

What will I learn?
This course provides a clear overview of uranium isotopes, fission yields, energy release, and neutron behaviour, linking these to neutron cycles, cross-sections, and reactor materials. Participants will study thermal-hydraulics feedback, reactivity control, core criticality, and safety limits, acquiring tools to analyse data, evaluate scenarios, and ensure safe operations in light-water research reactors.
