Description

Physics of nuclear reactor and other applications of nuclear physics

  • Part A : Physics of nuclear reactors
    • Reactor operation principle from fondamental nuclear processes
    • Microscopic reactions and their impact on the reactor behaviour.
    • Reactor safety, life-cycle and limits of today’s reactors.
    • New generation reactors. Key-words : neutron, fission, criticity, numerical simulation, energy, reactor, radioactive fuel.
  • Part B : Autres applications
  1. Characterization techniques with radiations :
    • Proton Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE)
    • Rutherford Back-Scattering (RBE)
    • Nuclear Rreaction Analysis
    • neutron diffraction
  2. Applications to health :
    • Medical imaging (scanner, Pet, γ-camera)
    • Radio/hadron-therapy
    • Dosimetry
  3. Applications to environnmental measurements :
    • Ambiant radioactivty
    • Gamma spectroscopy (in-lab and in-situ)
    • Specific issue of low activities
