Course description and aims
Uranium enrichment process in the upstream and reprocessing and waste treatment process in the downstream are explained. It is lectured how basic theory of chemical engineering, such as movement and operation theories, are applicable for the process analysis. Nuclear specified management techniques for radiation and nuclear material are also mentioned.
Student learning outcomes
Understanding of movement and operation theories based on chemical engineering for uranium enrichment process and the reprocessing and waste treatment process.
Keywords
