Uranium Fission Course
Gain mastery in uranium fission, from core physics to safety protocols. This course equips physics experts with essential tools to confidently analyse neutron life cycles, manage reactivity, handle thermal-hydraulics, and operate research reactors effectively. It bridges theoretical concepts with practical applications for secure and documented reactor management.

What will I learn?
This course provides a clear overview of uranium isotopes, fission yields, energy output, and neutron behaviour, linking these to neutron cycles, cross-sections, and reactor materials. Participants will study thermal-hydraulics effects, reactivity management, core criticality, and safety boundaries, acquiring hands-on skills to analyse data, evaluate situations, and ensure safe operations in light-water research reactors.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Model uranium fission by calculating yields, energy per fission, and decay heat.
- Analyse neutron life cycles using the six-factor formula and cross-section data.
- Evaluate reactivity control with rods, feedback mechanisms, and shutdown margins in LWR cores.
- Connect neutronics to thermal-hydraulics to forecast power, temperature, and operational limits.
- Apply sound reactor safety practices to establish limits and manage transients.
