Goal(s)

To prepare students for current and future nuclear issues:
fuel cycle (especially nuclear waste management),
new reactors (EPR reactor, on-board nuclear reactors, breeder reactors / Gen IV reactors, ITER),
Dismantlement / decommissioning of nuclear plants and nuclear power stations,
Advanced digital supervision (ADACS Software).

Responsible(s)

Philippe (Ense3) MARIN

Content(s)

Processes involved in upstream / downstream fuel cycle (extraction, PUREX vitrification ...), Modern techniques developed in decommissioning. Digital learning sessions on ADACS supervision software
Series of lectures on future nuclear reactors (embedded reactor EPR MSFR, ITER) and learning groups formed around Gen III or IV reactors

Prerequisites

Basic background in mechanics, nuclear physics, nuclear safety
