Work-study master’s program in nuclear offered in Italy
Energy company Ansaldo Energia recently hosted a ceremony at its headquarters in Genoa, Italy, marking the launch of the Master in Technologies for Nuclear Power Plants program, which it developed in collaboration with Politecnico di Milano. A call for graduates in engineering, physics, and chemistry issued in May attracted more than 300 applications, 26 of which were selected for the program.

The simulation of the units for hydrogen isotope separation by cryogenic distillation with packed columns can be carried out with a very efficient tool based on a non equilibrium model [1]. This new approach enables a better representation of the physical phenomena involved in the columns to be obtained and consequently, better accuracy for the tritium inventory in the whole process. At the TSTA facility, one of main systems is the Isotope Separation System (ISS), fitted with an on-line laser Raman spectroscopy system : it allows to obtain very accurate composition profiles in the columns, rapidly and safely. Using experimental data, provided by TSTA, CEA, associated with PROSIM S.A., have carried out calculations on column 1. This study clearly demonstrates :
