This project is conceived to improve your knowledge in nuclear reactor design
as taught in class (cf. the docs4nuke website for misc docs and slides)
by working on accessible research articles (cf. previous years).
Nuclear Design, How To ?
Teacher : Alexis Nuttin
2 subjects = the two selected articles (pdf files via title links) = 4 groups (of 4 to 5)
Understanding and synthesis work in group
During our brainstorming sessions and outside
Questions about precise issues to ask by e-mail (to teacher and authors)
