Technologie und Anwendungen aktueller und zukünftiger Kernreaktoren

What it is about

You will learn future concepts and applications of nuclear energy, including new reactor designs, alternative fuel cycles (e.g., thorium) as well as non-electric applications such as marine and space propulsion, hydrogen and fuel production, and desalination. In the end you will be able to compare different reactor concepts, explain their technological differences, and assess their suitability for different applications scientifically.

What you will be able to do

• Understand types of future reactor designs
• Explain technological reasons for design differences compared with today's reactors
• Know technical aspects of non-electric applications (propulsion, research, hydrogen, fuels, desalination)
• Develop a critical, scientifically reasoned evaluation of reactor concepts
