THE APPLIED PHYSICS DAY: RENEWABLE ENERGIES, THE NUCLEAR ENERGY CASE
- Cinzia DA VIA (Manchester University (UK) and SUNY-STONYBROOK, NY, USA)
Description
This session will introduce this active research field and stress the main R&D developments on both the Nuclear Fission and Nuclear Fusion applications on this field. It will also show how these research activities are benefitting from European and or international Research Laboratories such as MYRRHA and ITER.
It will briefly also introduce in those lectures the broad field of applications beyond the use as Energy source.
The industrial aspects will be developed in the Symposium on High Tech and Fundamental Science.
Several Hands on Lab are foreseen for this important overall topic.
