Abstract:
A practical approach to the techniques used in large facilities is essential for the expertise of the students in nuclear and radiological engineering. On this basis, an Erasmus Intensive Program (IP) was organised three times in 2002,2003 and 2004. With the title “Practical Approach to Nuclear techniques” (PAN), this 2-week course was held twice in CTU Prague, the third edition being organised in Belgium by ISIB with the help of SCK-CEN, IRMM, and ULg. A fourth course was held in 2005 in Prague, without European support. These courses included 10 hours of introductory talks and 30 hours of practical exercises, in particular exercises on a nuclear reactor (Sparrow, BR1) and on different accelerators. Visits of specialised laboratories and medical departments, with practical demonstrations, were also included, and a few exercises were organised in the teaching laboratory of the organising partner. A new IP project called “Stimulation of Practical Expertise in RAdiation and Nuclear SAfety” (SPERANSA) is submitted for 2006. The scope is partially redirected to nuclear/radiation safety, by developing the analysis of safety aspects related to the techniques used in the exercises. It should be first organised in Aachen, with the cooperation of SCK-CEN Mol, IRMM Geel and FZ Juelich.
