What Will I Learn?
This course offers a comprehensive 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 limits, acquiring practical skills to analyse data, evaluate scenarios, and ensure safe operations in light-water research reactors.
