What will I learn?
This course provides a focused look at uranium isotopes, fission yields, energy release, and neutron behaviour, linking them to neutron life cycles, cross sections, and reactor materials. You'll dive into thermal-hydraulics feedback, reactivity control, core criticality, and safety limits, gaining hands-on skills to interpret data, assess scenarios, and support safe operations in light-water research reactors.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Model uranium fission: compute yields, energy per fission, and decay heat.
- Analyze 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 judgment: set operating limits and respond to transients.
