Uranium Fission Course
Master uranium fission from core physics to safety. This course equips physics professionals with practical tools to analyse neutron life cycles, reactivity control, thermal-hydraulics, and research reactor operations confidently. It covers uranium isotopes, fission yields, energy release, neutron behaviour, cross sections, reactor materials, thermal-hydraulics feedback, core criticality, and safety limits, enabling data interpretation, scenario assessment, and safe operations in light-water reactors.

What will I learn?
This course provides a focused overview of uranium isotopes, fission yields, energy release, and neutron behaviour, linking these to neutron life cycles, cross sections, and reactor materials. Participants explore thermal-hydraulics feedback, reactivity control, core criticality, and safety limits, acquiring tools to interpret data, assess scenarios, and ensure safe operations in light-water research reactors.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Model uranium fission: compute yields, energy per fission, and decay heat.
- Analyse neutron life cycle: apply six-factor formula and cross-section data.
- Evaluate reactivity control: rods, feedbacks, and shutdown margin in LWR cores.
- Link neutronics to thermal-hydraulics: predict power, temperature, and limits.
- Apply reactor safety judgement: set operating limits and respond to transients.
