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.

For the tritium assay at the Tritium Laboratory Karlsruhe (TLK) which started operation in Nov. 94 an isothermal shield calorimeter was built. The calibration of the calorimeter was performed with an electrically heated simulator covering the range between 1 mW and about 2 W. After the calibration tritium activities in four Amersham uranium getter containers were determined The excellent reproducibility and high precision of the measurements with the KfK-calorimeter was shown.The tritium activity inventories could be determined with relative standard deviations from the average value of the order of 0.01% to 0.1% depending on the activity level.These results demonstrate the suitability of the KfK-calorimeter as a nondestructive method for a careful assay of tritium.
