NUET 1221 NUCLEAR MATERIALS PROCESSING

Credits

3

This course describes basic concepts and systems associated with nuclear facilities other than commercial nuclear power plants. This course identifies locations where these nuclear materials are processed; describes the purpose of these facilities; describes major process components and process requirements; and also describes major risk factors and corresponding mitigations. The nuclear materials processes analyzed in the course include: nuclear fuels fabrication facilities; separation, processing, and storage facilities; radioactive gas processing facilities; decontamination and decommissioning of nuclear facilities; radioactive waste management and other ancillary nuclear materials processing applications.
