Operation and safety of PWRs

- 16 - 27 May • INSTN, Saclay, France

PDF - 5.2 Mb
Course leaflet

The course is intented at the acquisition and/or development of working skills on the design, operation and safety of pressurized water reactors (PWRs). The course includes basic knowledge on thermal hydraulics and core physics to support the mastering of technical aspects of PWR architecture, systems, and control and management procedures. The skills are experienced and verified through practical traininig on PWR transient simulators.

Public
The course is mainly designed for professionals (engineers, technicians, scientists) recently assigned to the nuclear sector. It is also open to more experienced workers for the development of their skills in the operation, maintenance and safety of PWRs.

The scope primarily covers nuclear industry (utilities, vendors, suppliers, contractors), TSO or regulatory bodies as well as research and training institutions in nuclear-related areas. It is also suited to executives, managers and public affaires personnel who require practical understanding of nuclear power plant design, operation and safety.

Nuclear materials for PWRs

- 6 - 10 June • INSTN, Saclay, France

PDF - 7.1 Mb
Course leaflet

The objective of the course is to give an overview of the main materials currently used in pressurized water reactors (PWRs), with particular emphasis on irradiation processes on the atomic scale. The behaviour of these materials under irradiation in service conditions and accidental conditions will be described via a comprehensive approach covering changes in microstructure as well as physico-chemical and mechanical properties.

Public

  • Engineers, scientists and technicians in charge of the manufacturing, characterization, application and safety evaluations of materials for nuclear applications.
  • Students carrying out speciallized studies on material science or nuclear engineering.

Experiment and Modelling in Structural NMR

- November 28 - December 2 • INSTN, Saclay, France

The "Experiment and Modelling in Structural NMR" school aims to provide basic understanding on the coupling of theoretical modelling and simulation methods to the experiments in structural NMR, for biology and materials science.

PNG - 50.4 kb

The school will be composed of seminars and practical training involving both the theoretical and experimental aspects.

In the first part, following an introduction on general principles, the basic knowledge in isotropic and anisotropic media will be given. The second part will deal with the structural studies of biological systems and materials, while the third part will give an overview of some advanced concepts including Hyper-polarization, Fast NMR and Diffusion process.
