What will I learn?
This course offers a clear overview of uranium isotopes, fission yields, energy release, and neutron behaviour, linking them to neutron life cycles, cross-sections, and reactor materials. Learners 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.
