Sign up for a course on “Reactor transients, nuclear safety and uncertainty and sensitivity analysis” (3 ECTS). Registrations will open on November 24th, 2025. 

This course aims at giving the participants a full and comprehensive overview of:  

• The principles of nuclear reactor safety and system behaviour from the point of view of nuclear safety.  

• The principles of uncertainty and sensitivity analysis applied to nuclear reactor simulations and their importance in the evaluation of the simulations’ results.  

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 January 23rd, 2026, and February 20th, 2026. Synchronous activities offered between February 23rd, 2026, and February 27th, 2026 (those activities can be attended online or onsite at Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden).
