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 study thermal-hydraulics feedback, reactivity control, core criticality, and safety boundaries, acquiring tools to interpret data, evaluate scenarios, and promote safe operations in light-water research reactors.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Model uranium fission by calculating yields, energy output per fission, and decay heat.
- Analyse neutron life cycles using the six-factor formula and cross-section data.
- Evaluate reactivity control with control rods, feedback effects, and shutdown margins in LWR cores.
- Connect neutronics to thermal-hydraulics for predicting power, temperature, and operational limits.
