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
- Characterization techniques with radiations :
- Proton Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE)
- Rutherford Back-Scattering (RBE)
- Nuclear Rreaction Analysis
- neutron diffraction
- Applications to health :
- Medical imaging (scanner, Pet, γ-camera)
- Radio/hadron-therapy
- Dosimetry
- Applications to environnmental measurements :
- Ambiant radioactivty
- Gamma spectroscopy (in-lab and in-situ)
- Specific issue of low activities
