Experiment training using national nuclear research facilities for university students

The purpose of present research is to offer a specialized educational opportunity by developing specific curriculum for potential users, mainly university students majoring in related with nuclear engineering and radiology, on site at KAERI, exploiting the diverse offering of HANARO research reactor and National nuclear research facilities. The specific items of this research accomplished are: First, Development of various curricula for specific research using HANARO and National nuclear research facilities and operation of the developed curricula to provided university students with opportunities to use the facilities. Second, Operation of the experimental training programs for university students in nuclear engineering and radiology field to make contribution to cultivating next generation specialists. Third, through the site experimental training for students in nuclear engineering and radiology field, support future potential users to the radiation research fields, as well as enlarge or broaden the base. As a whole, 190 students offered and 176 students from 3 universities have completed the course of the programs developed by this project. Also, 2 textbooks and 2 teaching aids, a questionnaire have been developed to support the program. Finally, it is hoped that these experiments broadens public awareness and acceptance of the present and potential future utilization of the research reactor and national nuclear research facilities, thereby bring positive impacts to policy making
