The aim of the course is to illustrate the possibilities to use competence in nuclear physics and nuclear measurement techniques as a tool within other disciplines. Special emphasis is put on ion beam analysis, neutron scattering, neutron detection and reactor physics. The course shall give knowledge on the construction and function of modern reactors, theory of neutron physics for reactors, core design and fuel optimization. The course will discuss radiation surveillance and instrumentation for monitoring neutrons and emissions of radioactive gases and particles. It will also introduce safety and risk evaluation for large facilities.

The course is focused on three main topics that are applications of the subatomic physics: Ion beam analysis – lectures and laboratory exercises. Neutron physics, neutron scattering and detectors – lectures laboratory exercises and projects. Fission reactor technology, radiation shielding – tutorials (discussion groups).
Undervisningsformer: Föreläsningar, seminarier, laborationer, projekt
Examinationsformer: Skriftlig rapport, inlämningsuppgifter, seminarieföredrag av deltagarna.
In order to pass the course the student is required to have completed laboratory exercises, projects and paper writing, and also to have participated actively in lectures, tutorials and seminars. As an alternative, a written examination (pass/fail) can be arranged for a student not taking active part in seminars or tutorials.
