The workshop aims to bring together specialists in the nuclear engineering field in order to support E&T of students and young professionals for the development and/or the improvement of knowledges particularly focusing upon the SMR technologies and
available training tools such as computer codes, research centers and nuclear reactors simulators.
In particular, the participants will have the opportunity to take on the role of a control room operator for a 12-units SMR NuScale plant through the Energy Exploration Center (E2 Center) available at the POLITEHNICA of Bucharest. This is an innovative learning environment that offers students and young professionals a hands-on opportunity to apply nuclear science and technology principles through simulated, real-world NuScale VOYGR-12 SMR power plant operation scenarios.
The workshop aims to provide an overview of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) technologies that are considered for deployment in different countries (Canada, USA, European countries). Presentations will cover the basic principles of SMR technology and special considerations for first-of-a-kind (FOAK) SMRs, particular features, safety aspects and available tools to build
the next generation of the nuclear workforce to ensure the future of nuclear energy. Special considerations The objective is to set up a bridge between M.Sc. students, PhD students and early career professionals specialising / specialized in the field.
Applicants should be either M.Sc students, PhD students or early career professionals, who completed their PhD studies after 1/10/2021.
Attendees receiving financial support from ENEN2plus are requested to attend all sessions and to prepare a 10 minute presentation about a recent research topic.
