Computer Assisted Learning for Reactor Physics Education and Training of Nuclear Plant Designers, Operators and Maintainers

This paper discusses the variety of teaching methods employed by the Nuclear Department in the education and training of nuclear practioners in support of the United Kingdom’s Naval Nuclear Propulsion Programme (NNPP). Reactor physics is required to be taught at a variety of levels from introductory principles to postgraduate, a variety of teaching methods are employed to satisfy this requireme...

Sensitivity Analysis and Uncertainty Propagation from Basic Nuclear Data to Reactor Physics and Safety Relevant Parameters

Reliable knowledge of the uncertainties in important reactor parameters, like criticality, radiation load on the reactor components, neutron/gamma ray flux, nuclear heating and dose are crucial for nuclear safety concerns. Uncertainties are introduced either through the calculational algorithms or through the data uncertainties. The paper addresses the uncertainties in the reactor parameters li...
