PIONEERING EDUCATION IN NUCLEAR REACTOR PHYSICS AND SAFETY
Education in reactor physics and nuclear safety needs innovative change in order to keep up with demand for skilled nuclear scientists and engineers. Attracting new students is increasingly difficult so actions must be taken to strengthen the European graduate nuclear engineering education network and offer new, attractive and accessible training resources.
GRE@T-PIONEeR is a Euratom project that will develop specialised education and training resources for post-graduate students in reactor physics and safety. The aim is to create an alliance aimed at teaching advanced and specialised reactor physics and nuclear reactor safety while making use of synergies between the different consortium members.
The project will offer materials that will allow students to fully comprehend topics related to the physics, modelling and safety of nuclear reactors, with an emphasis on nuclear cores. By following the courses and hands-on training sessions, the students will be able to perform nuclear reactor safety simulations and understand all the calculations behind these simulations.
