Studying at the Chair of Hydrogen and Nuclear Energy Technology (WKET)
Our professorship offers two main teaching areas. In addition to the production and safe application of hydrogen in energy technologies, we impart engineering knowledge on nuclear reactors from nuclear fission to plant decommissioning.

Main studies
In the main course (6 semesters), all students of power engineering receive obligatory basic knowledge of nuclear power engineering. This ranges from the structure of the atomic nucleus and the balancing of chain reactions to the constructive design of nuclear reactors and their safety characteristics.
Elective modules
We offer three elective modules for the 8th semester of the "Energy Technology" major. The first module on nuclear reactor technology, for example, looks at the fundamentals of nuclear reactor/safety technology, radioactivity and radiation protection. Including an internship at the training reactor AKR-2, students also gain practical knowledge on the dismantling of nuclear facilities.
The second module, reactor physics aspects, also includes an internship at the AKR-2 training reactor and provides in-depth knowledge in the lectures Reactor Physics, Core Design and Reactor Dynamics.
In the module hydrogen energy technology, the focus is on production, application areas, safety issues and economic aspects of the energy carrier.
