List of courses and Interest Feedback Form

In recent years, the Nuclear Science and Engineering Division (NSED), Design and Materials Division (DMD) and Fuel Technologies Division (FMD) of the CNS have organized the following courses. Note that only a few of the past course dates and locations are listed below:

• CANDU Reactor Safety course (NSED). Designed to broaden the scientist's or engineer's knowledge beyond his/her specialty. The course covers CANDU safety through a series of lectures. These lectures cover issues in design, licensing (regulation), reactor physics, thermalhydraulics, safety, risk (PSA/PRA analysis), severe accidents, and environmental impact.

The CNS intends to expand the courses to include:

• Advanced CANDU Reactor-Safety course (NSED)
• CANDU Design course (NSED)
• CANDU Aging course (NSED)
• MAPLE Technology course (NSED)
• Trip-Coverage course (NSED)

In order to shape our course offering according to your needs, we're establishing a waiting list for each of the above courses. We will schedule any of these courses to be offered as soon as possible after its list reaches the required minimum number of participants. We also look forward to your suggestions and will gladly add any pertinent subject to the list of our courses.
