The 6th Nuclear Science Training Course on Radioactivity - Radionuclides - Radiation with Nuclides.net - 14-16 September 2005 - Ljubljana/Slovenia - Organized by Insitute for Transuranium Elements ITU and Milan Copi Nuclear Training Centre, Josef Stefan Institute, Ljubljana/Slovenia

The 6th nuclear science training course on Radioactivity - Radionuclides - Radiation with Nuclides.net, jointly organized by the Josef Stefan Institute and the ITU was held from the 14th 16th September, 2005, at the Milan Copic Nuclear Training Centre, Slovenia, organizational unit of the Josef Stefan Institute. The three day course covered a wide range of topics in the field of nuclear science and technology. What made this course unique was the emphasis on interactive and hands-on learning through the use of ITU software package Nuclides.net - a powerful and versatile web-based software package for calculations on radio-nuclides and their radiation. With examples, exercises and dedicated case studies in Nuclides.net, a whole variety of core and topical issues in nuclear science and technology were presented by experts in their respective fields. The lectures were complemented by a visit to research reactor TRIGA and a demonstration in centre's radioactivity lab. A total of thirty-eight participants, around half of them women, from new EU member countries and candidate countries, and with a diverse range of backgrounds attended the course in Slovenia. Among them were students, academics and industry professionals from fields such as nuclear medicine, radiation protection, environmental radioactivity and reactor physics. This was the first time that the training course was held outside Karlsruhe and it proved to be a remarkable success.JRC.E.4-Nuclear fuel
