What will I learn?
This course offers 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, building 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, feedbacks, and shutdown margins in LWR cores.
- Connect neutronics to thermal-hydraulics for predicting power, temperature, and operational limits.
- Apply safety judgement to establish operating limits and manage transients effectively.
