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.

A precise hydrogen permeation experiment for beryllium was conducted at a temperature ranging from 735 to 1000 K under hydrogen gas pressure of 101 to 103 Pa. Diffusion coefficient and permeation coefficient were determined from the steady state penneation and time transient penneation independently. The steady state penneation rate was proportional to the square root of H2 pressure and the time sequence of penneation rate agreed well with theoretical one, indicating that the penneation controlled by bulk diffusion. The temperature dependencies of the penneation coefficients (Φ) and diffusion coefficients (D) were respectively,Φ=(1.0±0.1)×10−6exp[−73±20(kJ/mol)/RT] (mol·m−1·s−1·Pa1/2),D=(1.3±0.1)×10−7exp[59±20(kJ/mol)/RT] (m2·s−1).Solubility calculated from the relation Φ=DS wasS=7.1 exp[−14(kJ/mol)/RT] (mol·m−3·Pa−1/2).
