IntersemesterCourse
“NuclearFuels”
JRC-ITUKarlsruhe,GermanyJune6hJune10th,2016
IntroductionandScopeIntroductionandScope
A five days intersemester course is organized
within the framework of the EURATOM FP7
GENTLEprojecthttp://www.gentleproject.eu/.
Thecoursecomprises:
• Lecturesbyexperts
• Laboratory visits with practical
demonstrations.
ThecoursefocusesonthetopicNuclearFuels.Itis
open to all interested (post-) graduate students of
academic/research institutions of the European
Union (EU) and is limited to 20 participants.Main
goal of the course is to enrich the students'
backgroundandstimulate their interest in the role
and importance of nuclear materials, and in
particular fuels, for the reactor design, operation
and safety, the nuclear waste management,
shielding of nuclear facilities and safeguarding.
Special importance isgiven to thepracticalaspects
and precautions linked with handling radioactive
andfissilematerials.
Studentsfollowingthiscoursewillearnknowledge,skills
and competences available at research centres
specialisedinthefieldofNuclearMaterialsandequipped
with the experimental facilities needed for the safe
handling of these materials. Students will acquire
competencesontopicsthataregenerallynotprovidedby
academic institutions as e.g. practical details on the
nuclearfuelcycle,skillsinhandlingradioactivematerials,
and competence in dealing with such materials also in
emergency cases. Particular attention will be given to
practicalaspectsofglove-boxes,radiationprotection,and
laboratorydemonstrations.Thecourseaimsthereforeat
complementing nuclear engineering and nuclear
materialsstudiesbyprovidingacomprehensiveoverview
of the nuclear fuel cycle, from the uraniummining and
fuel production to the spent fuel and highly-radioactive
waste management. It is also suited for professionals
