For those already with knowledge of some aspects of nuclear, it will broaden their horizons to the full range of issues that underlie it. For others newer to the field, it should open up many of the apparent mysteries and possible misunderstandings. The course is intentionally international in focus, based on the World Nuclear University’s (WNU’s) experience of running longer courses both in the UK and overseas countries. The course consists of 10 units, each of half an hour. There will be 15-20 minutes of presentation in each, followed by questions and class discussion.   09:00-09:15         Welcome and introduction 09:15-09:45         Energy and electricity 09:45-10:15         Nuclear development and different applications 10:15-10:45         Nuclear value chain, operations and safety post-Fukushima 10:45-11:15         Refreshment break 11:15-11:45         Nuclear Economics 11:45-12:15         Nuclear fuel, trade & transport   12:15-13:45         Lunch 13:45-14:15         Project structuring, technology selection and localization 14:15-14:45         Waste management, decommissioning and radiological protection 14:45-15:15         Non-proliferation, security and related international issues 15:15-15:45         Refreshment break 15:45-16:15         Nuclear politics and public acceptance 16:15-16:45         The future –technologies and new applications 16:45-17:00         Wrap-up     NIASA Secretariat Telephone: (011) 061 5000 Email: niasas...@vdw.co.za Website: www.niasa.co.za     forward to a friend Copyright © 2013 Association Management Services, All rights reserved.
