What will I learn?
This course provides a clear overview of uranium isotopes, fission yields, energy release, and neutron behaviour, linking these to neutron life cycles, cross-sections, and reactor materials. Participants will delve into thermal-hydraulics feedback, reactivity control, core criticality, and safety boundaries, acquiring hands-on tools to interpret data, evaluate scenarios, and promote secure, documented operations in light-water research reactors.
