AKR-2 Training Reactor
Table of contents
|
The training reactor is an integral part of the chair of hydrogen and nuclear energy technology at the TU Dresden. The reactor contributes significantly to the maintenance of competence in Germany and fosters the cooperation with other universities and colleges, as well as with the industry. Homopolar power reactors such as the AKR-2 training reactor are especially suitable for the demonstration of complex contexts within the field of reactor physics. Training reactors supplement the theoretical training and contribute to the training of the technical staff working within the field of nuclear technology. Furthermore, training reactors are an important feature to maintain and improve know-how and competences in the field of nuclear technology. Basic experiments in the field of reactor and nuclear physics can be conducted for students in the fields of nuclear energy technology, physics, teacher training courses (physics and mathematics), industrial engineering, as well as students of the medical faculty and students in the framework of the Studium Generale (additional courses offered for students from other fields of studies such as humanities etc.). Due to the small number of training reactors in Germany we are happy to welcome regional students as well as students from other parts of Germany. The AKR-2 is not only an attraction for students, but also, owing to the equipment with the digital safety and I&C technology TELEPERM XS, a very attractive offer for qualification and training of staff working in the field of nuclear technology or other fields such as reactor physics, reactor current technology, as well as radiation and neutron current measurement technology. |
