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 catalytic oxidation and adsorption is the most conventional and reliable method for removing tritium that is accidentally released into the working area of fusion power plants. The authors conducted a study on the effect of water on the oxidation reaction over a Pt/MS5A catalyst, and it was found that coexistent water inhibit its catalytic activity. With this result, a simulation study was carried out, and its result suggests that the installation of a pre-adsorption bed is very effective.
