Measurements in Nuclear Reactors 1100-PRJ
The aim of the course is to familiarize students with experimental measurement methods used in nuclear reactors, with particular emphasis on:
determining reactor reactivity,
measuring control rod characteristics,
studying reactor dynamics.
Exercises are conducted in a series on a zero-power reactor at CTU in Prague or at NCBJ. Completion of the course is based on a final report prepared by the student.
Program:
Students carry out measurement exercises covering basic neutronic and operational parameters of nuclear reactors, including reactivity measurements, control rod characteristics, and dynamic properties of the reactor.
Prerequisites:
Basic knowledge of nuclear physics and measurement methods in reactors.
Main fields of studies for MISMaP
