Description
Oral Session
Practical exercises or hands-on experiments in Reactor Physics at a research reactor are an essential part of education and training in Nuclear Engineering. They are mostly performed at low power research reactors and/or critical and subcritical assemblies. Institutions that do not have their own research experimental facilities often visit other facilities to perform hands-on experiments. In...
The European Nuclear Experimental Educational Platform – ENEEP is currently being established by five European educational / research organizations in the framework of a Horizon 2020 project, initiated in 2019. The ENEEP partner institutions are the Jožef Stefan Institute (JSI) in Ljubljana, Slovenia, the Slovak Technical University (STU) in Bratislava, Slovak Republic, the Czech Technical...
Active learning engages students in activities that could enhances their ability to analyze, synthesize, and evaluate the material being learned. The students participate in doing things instead of just listening. Evidence-based studies have shown that active learning increases student performance in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) courses. The goal of this project is...
The MiniPIX EDU is miniaturized imaging detector visualizing traces of individual particles of ionizing radiation in the normal environment such as classroom. It is simplified but still very powerful version of the MiniPIX detectors operated by NASA in space for radiation monitoring on the orbit. This CERN based technology gives very illustrative and easy to understand insight into complicated...
Since 2004, the “Filière Instrumentation” unit of the Physics Department of the Faculty of Sciences at Aix-Marseille University has been collaborating with the CEA to develop different education activities on the topic of nuclear instrumentation. These activities involve also several partners such as EDF, IEEE NPSS, international nuclear centers (SCK-CEN in Belgium, NCBJ in Poland, CNESTEN in...
The LUCID experiment involved groups of students in a school in Kent, UK, working with a huge number of colleagues to put Medipix technology in open space on TechDemoSat 1. Students worked on this outside their formal studies over a period of ten years and benefitted from real engagement with research. LUCID [1, 2] studied the radiation environment in Low Earth Orbit for three years,...
MX-10 particle camera [1] as a modified variant of the read-out interface for Timepix pixel detector is dedicated for educational purposes to demonstrate real-time detection and visualization of basic kinds of radiation as alpha, beta, gamma rays and cosmic muons. However, its use is not strictly limited to perform the fundamental exercises that are formulated in the complementary manual book...
EASY, a plug-and-play educational system, is portable, compact and a complete system for microstrip sensor characterization. Ideal for making basic or complex experiments. It is based on the Alibava System, largely used within the CERN community to test micro-strip detectors for particle experiments. The system can be configured to work with laser light or radioactive sources.
The aim of...
The main idea of our project is to build a cheap gamma photon detector that can be assembled without buying expensive parts. This idea will be an Open Hardware Project so that everyone can try it out and make it better.
The basis of this project is the ability of the photodiodes to react to the gamma particles that pass through them. Since photodiodes are inexpensive, this makes it possible...
Now, when the entire educational process had to be transferred to distance learning, we faced difficulties in performing laboratory and practical exercises, which require real laboratory equipment.
One option is virtual labs using a variety of distance learning platforms. In the 2020-2021 academic year at the Odessa National Polytechnic University to study the courses "Experimental Methods of...
A Monte Carlo simulation study of four tentative radiation resistant materials (RRMs) at energies corresponding to proposed DT-neutron source up to 15 MeV using the JA-IPU code has been presented. The code incorporates full cascade development of both projectile neutron and energetic knocked on recoiling atoms. The code involves basic processes of elastic collision and ionization lose as well...
