Time of year
Spring
This course covers the various aspects of the current fuel cycle and future nuclear cycles. The course will cover, in sequence, concepts related to the front end of the cycle (mineral resources, uranium extraction and purification, isotopic enrichment), the passage of fuel through nuclear reactors, and the back end of the cycle (reprocessing of spent fuel, recycling of recoverable materials and fuel remanufacturing, and management of final nuclear waste). This will be followed by a discussion of several aspects related to future nuclear fuel cycles, including the use of unconventional resources, advanced separation concepts, and the development of fourth-generation reactors.

This course unit will cover the main conventional membrane technologies in liquid and gas media. With regard to liquid media, the focus will be on baromembrane technologies such as microfiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, and reverse osmosis, as well as those based on electrochemical potential gradients (electrodeionization) or temperature gradients (membrane distillation). In addition, gas permeation and pervaporation for the separation of gases and/or vapors will also be presented. For all technologies, the issue of selecting suitable membrane materials will be addressed, and representative examples of appropriate applications (related to current environmental and energy challenges) will be provided.
