Research Reactor Exercises for Higher Education Programmes

Abstract

The Compendium is intended to serve as a reference which can provide insights to those working or intending to work on developing education or new educational exercises using a RR. Its main objective is to provide high level resource material for RR exercises1 to support and improve experimental education and hands-on experiences at university level in nuclear science and technology. Furthermore, this resource material can also be used as starting point for the development of hands-on training activities dedicated to professionals in nuclear sector. In addition, the Compendium can be used to:(a) Provide useful guide for MSs embarking on a new RR project to better identify the capabilities of each type of RR for educational purposes; (b) Guide university professors and lecturers in identifying RR exercises that could be included in their academic curricula; (c) Help RR managers to identify potential stakeholders and users in academia and to set up or further develop RR exercises at their facility.
