Enrol in the course: Computational Nuclear Reactor Physics at Chalmers - DEADLINE 28.09.2025

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

• Understand the principles, approximations, and limitations of Monte Carlo and deterministic methods.
• Implement these methods in modern simulation environments.
• Compute and analyse key quantities relevant to Pressurised Water Reactors (PWRs) and Boiling Water Reactors (BWRs).
• Apply simulation results to evaluate and improve core design and operation.

Format & Timeline:

• 4-week self-paced online phase (7 Nov – 5 Dec 2025)
• 5-day interactive on-site phase at Chalmers University of Technology (8–12 Dec 2025)
• Extra time until 10 Jan 2026 to complete activities and improve grades

Assessment & Certificate:

• 25% asynchronous activities + 75% synchronous activities
• Participants scoring ≥ 50/100 points will receive a certificate of successful completion

Who should join?

Participants with a basic background in reactor physics and an interest in computational methods for nuclear engineering.

Important!

Foreign students studying at the Warsaw University of Technology as part of an international exchange programme apply for short-term courses (Blended Intensive Programmes, ATHENS) at their home university.
