Introduction To the Courses
Radioactive Waste Management
Introduction
This course covers the entire scope of radioactive waste management starting from waste generation, waste classification, treatment, packaging, transportation, storage and final disposal, as well as decontamination and decommissioning of nuclear installations. Principles, objectives and technology of radioactive waste management are introduced. Then, decontamination and decommissioning technology and related issues are reviewed.
Course Objectives
- Understanding of radioactive waste management technology
- Understanding of decontamination and decommissioning technology
- Understanding of fundamental principles of radioactive waste management
- Identification of major issues in radioactive waste safety
- To develop insights on social and policy issues around radioactive waste management and the related communication issues
Student Outcomes
- Hormworks & Term Paper
Nuclear Fuel Cycle Technology and Economic Analysis
Introduction
This course covers the front end and the back end of the nuclear fuel cycle. Various options for spent fuel management employing reprocessing or recycling, storage and direct disposal are introduced. The learning objectives of this course are to understand the back-end fuel cycle technologies and to develop insight on economic, social and policy issues on spent fuel management.
Course Objectives
- Fundamental understanding of nuclear fuel cycle
- Understanding of material flow and economic analysis of nuclear fuel cycle
- Understanding of spent fuel manage
- Review of major issues on fuel cycle technology
Student Outcomes
- Hormworks & Term Paper
