SAINT Workshop 2021-06-16 & 17

Welcome to join SAINT’s workshop in the mornings of June 16-17. The workshop is open for everyone with an interest in funding of research and education within the field of radiation sciences. The aim of this workshop is to have a focused discussion on issues relevant to university funding. Five funding agencies will participate to give presentations and discuss, please find the full program including the registration link here: https://saint.nu/event/workshop-june-2021/

The time point of the workshop is also planned to be able to provide further input to the ongoing work performed by the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) on a strategy to keep the competence within the field, which is based this earlier report.

Please register before June 15 at 3 pm to receive the Zoom link. You are welcome to forward this e-mail to colleagues. The meeting will be held in English.

Welcome!

Introduktion till kärnkraft 5 hp – Sommarkurs på distans 2021

En sommarkurs ”Introduktion till kärnkraft” arrangeras av Uppsala Universitet under 2021.

Elenergi är ett nyckelord för framtiden. Eldrivna fordon, kolfri stålproduktion och mycket annat gör att elanvändningen förväntas öka kraftfullt i framtiden. Alla energikällor som kan producera elenergi miljövänligt, med små utsläpp av växthusgaser kommer att behövas. Kärnkraft är en av dessa energikällor och i sommarkursen Introduktion till kärnkraft tar vi ett helhetsgrepp på processen. Hur fungerar ett kärnkraftverk? Varför behöver man uran och hur kan kärnklyvningar ge upphov till elenergi? Vad är joniserande strålning och hur skyddar man sig mot det? Hur farligt är egentligen avfallet? Frågorna är många och vi ger svaren. Detaljerad information om kursens innehåll och förkunskapskrav finns i kursplanen!

Sommarkursen som ges på distans vänder sig till dig som redan är student eller som är yrkesarbetande och vill fortbilda dig eller kanske funderar på att söka arbete inom kärnkraftbranchen. Introduktion till kärnkraft är en fristående kurs, men fungerar även som en prova på-kurs inför det ettåriga Högskoleingenjörsprogrammet i kärnkraftteknik som ges vid Uppsala universitet. Kursen kan efter godkänt resultat tillgodoräknas inom detta program. Antagning till Introduktion till kärnkraft utgör dock inte en antagning till Högskoleingenjörsprogrammet utan detta måste sökas separat.

Har ny kärnkraft tekniska och ekonomiska förutsättningar att möta klimatutmaningen?

Måndag, 7 december 2020, välkomnar Chalmers styrkeområde Energi till ett lunchwebbinarium om kärnkraft.

Kärnkraften, som idag gör 40 procent av jobbet för att vi i Sverige ska ha konstant tillgång på el, är energisystemets vattendelare. Alltsedan Barsebäck startade på 70-talet har tekniken varit en het potatis på den politiska agendan. Det här seminariet handlar inte om att vara för eller emot kärnkraft.
Ambitionen är att belysa frågan om kärnkraft ur flera perspektiv.
Seminariet är gratis och öppet för alla.

Språk: Svenska, föranmälan krävs, senast 3 december.​​
Tid och plattform: kl 12:00-13:45, Zoom.
Mer information om seminariet och om registrering finns här.

Uppdatering 2020-12-10: En inspelning av seminariet finns här.
