| | Course Aims & Main Content |
The main aim of the course is to increase public awareness of nuclear, and to equip participants with a sound understanding of the key issues underlying the development of nuclear power today, together with an appreciation of its likely expansive future. For those already with knowledge of some aspects of nuclear, it will broaden their horizons to the full range of issues that underlie it. For others newer to the field, it should open up many of the apparent mysteries and possible misunderstandings. The course is intentionally international in focus, based on the World Nuclear University (WNU) experience of running longer courses both in the UK and overseas countries. The course consists of 10 units, each of half an hour. There will be 15-20 minutes of presentation in each, followed by questions and class discussion.
