En bref

The ISNE international training course aims at promoting knowledge in the field of nuclear sciences. It breaks down into two distinct parts: the "Thermal hydraulics of light water reactors (LWR)",
and "Modelling and multi-phase phenomenology of severe accidents in LWRs ".

  • Give practical and relevant examples of thermal hydraulics models in the nuclear field
  • Identify and discuss the major physical phenomena involved during design basis accident and severe accidents
  • Describe the different scenarios of core degradation and corium interactions during severe accidents
  • Present the hydrogen risk in LWRs
  • Technical visit organized (if possible, depending on the availability of the experimental facilities)
  • On-field experience, case study and tutorials
  • Lectures taught by international experts, including Dominique BESTION, Etienne STUDER and Florian FICHOT.
