This particular workshop explored the science and technology of nuclear reactors. Nuclear fission is the best source of energy currently available to man. However, there are concerns about safety and radioactive waste. Let’s get into this topic and learn about nuclear physics, design of nuclear reactors, radioactivity and more!

Workshop Objective: 

Provide a simplified introduction to Nuclear Physics 

Outline the dawn of nuclear age and Einstein’s involvement

Explain the process of nuclear power generation

Explore the engineering of nuclear reactors and plants that house them

Assess the safety and viability of nuclear power for the future

Key Concepts: 

Nuclear physics

Nuclear fission

Mass defect & Einstein’s equation

Nuclear Reactors

Radioactivity & Health

Activity: 

Virtual Management of a Nuclear Reactor

How the webinar works:

1. The registered number will be added to a temporary WhatsApp group where further instructions will be shared.
2. The online session will take place over Zoom Meetings.
3. A computer with headphones and a reliable internet connection is necessary.
4. The facilitator will share their computer screen where the content will be displayed (Powerpoint presentation, worksheets, software UI, videos, simulations, virtual tour etc.).
5. The facilitator will also be giving live audio commentary and explanations.
6. The participants can interact with the facilitator using the chat feature.
7. The participants will have their audio muted and their webcam stopped to ensure a smooth streaming experience for all.
8. One ticket permits one device (computer/tablet) to join the Zoom Meeting
9. The live stream of the online session is only for personal use, and thus shouldn't be recorded or transmitted or projected to an audience unauthorised by the organizer
10. You may experience network latency during the session considering the high internet usage because of lockdown.
