Gas cooled Nuclear Reactors (GCR), RBMK etc. make use of graphite as moderator. Presently, accelerated decommission of of some of these first generation reactors is ongoing or is planned.During irradiation, the graphite changes its properties and it becomes contaminated by radionuclides from nuclear fission and by neutron activation. This leads to large quantities of waste, today about 250000 tons of irradiated graphite worldwide. Acceptable solutions have not yet been established for this kind of waste. The various options of waste management like decontamination, recycling or disposal. For being able to choose the best option, we must understand, how graphite moderated reactors work, how the dismantling is going to happen, what kind of properties irradiated graphite has in the reactor, during decontamination and disposal. The goal of this EUROCOURSE is to provide insight into these questions by lectures from reknown scientists and engineers working since many years in the field. Focuss is not only on the latest research results, but as well on base understanding of all mentioned subjects. Registration fee covering all accomodations costs, meals, coffee breaks and shuttle to St Malo is 300 euros You will receive an e-mail with payments instructions soon after your registration The .doc file with the detailled programme is available here
