Nuclear Education & Training activity experience at the University of Pavia

At the University of Pavia, at the Laboratory for Applied Nuclear Energy (LENA) is installed a 250kW TRIGA MKII Type Research Reactor together with a radiochemistry laboratory dedicated to the manipulation, analysis and radiochemistry separations. As a University institution, one of the main purposes is to prepare new generations of students and graduates for their careers. The Laboratory, as a facility at the disposal of different University departments, provides practical exercises as part of university classes in particular for Physics, Chemistry and, within agreements with other Universities, also in nuclear engineering. The University of Pavia, in consideration of its facilities and expertise, hosts international courses and hands-on training to foreign Regulatory Body personnel, health physics staff, and radiation protection Advisors. The assets and key points of practical courses are discussed together with a list of the achievable expected outcomes.
