MAT3331   Industrial Training Programme (ITP), Project 1: Nuclear Materials   (15 credits)

Description

This unit will provide an insight into the design, manufacture and in-service performance of industrial nuclear materials and components. This will be in collaboration with NNL (Sellafield), including their Chief Engineer and Nuclear AMRC. NNL will set a real technical challenge and small group sizes will undertake experimental work and present a report that will require an in-depth literature review. To supplement the main technical challenge there will be focussed technical seminars on relevant topics. These topics will be provided by both academics and engineers. In addition, NNL will provide seminars on employability skills, data handling, quality and safety in nuclear materials sector.
