Программа обучения Nuclear Applications

Программа обучения "Nuclear Applications" в FH Aachen University of Applied Sciences

Nuclear Applications

The use of nuclear technologies is very widespread in a variety of industries as well as in research. Many applications of nuclear technolgies are not immediately obvious, such as the use of nuclear scattering techniques for the characterization of surfaces in materials sciences and nanotechnolgies.

Учебный план программы обучения "Nuclear Applications"

The Master of Science in Nuclear Applications program provides students with a solid scientific basis, enabling them to use scientific and engineering methods to analyze technical procedures and develop practical solutions while taking into consideration related areas outside their specific field of study.

During the program, the students acquire wide-ranging, integrated knowledge and understanding of the scientific and technical fundamentals of nuclear science and technology.

They have at their disposal a critical understanding of the basic theories, principles and methods dealt with during their studies, and are in a position to broaden this knowledge independently.

Moreover, students gain the ability to collect and interpret data and to infer scientifically-based judgements from it, as well as to implement appropriate solutions that take into account social, scientific and ethical issues.

Students learn to formulate and defend their own opinions and solutions and to exchange information, ideas, problems, and solutions with experts and lay people, as well as work responsibility in a team.

These wide-ranging skills ensure flexibility in career opportunities and form an ideal basis for the lifelong learning skills that are indespensible in modern professional life.

Areas of specialisation

Nuclear Technology
This specialist area opens up oppor- tunities for a career in the field of nuclear energy techno- logy. Students will gain insight into the working principles of nuclear power plants, their design and operation. Fur- thermore, the discussion of safety aspects, the nuclear fuel cycle, the decommissioning of nuclear facilities, and safe treatment of nuclear waste play a significant role, as well as the design and operation of nuclear repositories.
Medical Physics
Radiation safety aspects and dosimetry play a dominant role in medical diagnostics and therapies utilising ionising radiation. A variety of medical imaging methods are based on nuclear effects, e.g. SPECT, PET, and MRI, and a growing number of patients receive cancer treatment with different types of radiation therapy. Legal requirements demand Medical Physics Experts to do irra- diation planning and dosimetric control of these diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. In combination with basic knowledge in medical physics, medical imaging devices and anatomy usually covered by a Bachelor study in Biome- dical Engineering, our students get the base knowledge of a certificate as Medical Physics Expert, which must be supplemented with a two-year exercise period in radiation therapy laboratories.
Nuclear Chemistry
A key discipline in many applications of nuclear technologies is Nuclear Chemistry. Whenever radioactive materials need to be handled and transformed, nuclear chemists are involved. They can be found in all stages of the nuclear fuel cycle: separation and enrichment of uranium as well as fuel production. In nuclear power plants, they control chemical aspects of the cooling circuits, fuel integrity, and effluents. They play an important role in the treatment of all waste forms and their storage, and also in the decommissioning of nuclear facilities. In radioeco- logy, they detect and quantify natural and artificial radio- nuclides in the environment by radioanalytical methods. For radiotracer applications, they develop radionuclides and radiolabeled compounds. A specialised field is the development and production of radiopharmaceuticals for medical diagnosis and therapy.
