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
