Sign up for a course on “Neutron transport at the fuel cell and assembly levels” (3 ECTS). Registrations will open on June 23rd, 2025. 

This course focuses on the study of the transport of neutrons at the fuel cell and assembly levels, to provide useful information for the next steps of reactor physics analysis, such as the full core simulation in steady-state and transient conditions.   

This course aims at providing the students with a sound understanding of the physical phenomena described by the neutron transport models, as well as giving the participants the instruments to perform numerical simulations of neutron transport with state-of-the-art models and codes. 

The pedagogical format of the course is based on a hybrid flipped classroom. In this format, you need to complete some preparatory work (representing about 40 hours of work) before attending interactive classes organized during 5 consecutive days (representing about 40 hours of work). Those classes are given in a hybrid set-up, with participants following the classes either onsite or remotely on the web. Research in engineering education demonstrated that such a teaching format leads to better learning outcomes and increases the interactions between the students and the teachers. 

Online self-paced learning phase taking place between September 26th, 2025, and October 24th, 2025. Synchronous activities offered between October 27th, 2025, and October 31st, 2025 (those activities can be attended online or onsite at Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden).
