What will I learn?
This course provides an in-depth look at uranium isotopes, fission processes, energy outputs, and neutron dynamics, linking them to neutron cycles, reaction cross-sections, and reactor components. Participants will study thermal-hydraulic interactions, reactivity management, core criticality, and safety protocols, acquiring skills to analyse data, evaluate situations, and ensure secure operations in light-water research reactors.
