What will I learn?
This course provides a focused overview of uranium isotopes, fission yields, energy release, and neutron behaviour, linking these to neutron life cycles, cross sections, and reactor materials. Participants will explore thermal-hydraulics feedback, reactivity control, core criticality, and safety limits, acquiring tools to interpret data, assess scenarios, and support safe operations in light-water research reactors.
