General description

Â· Harvesting, processing and management of energy resources. Â· Industries of generation, transmission, transformation and management of electrical and thermal energy. Â· Nuclear engineering and radiation protection. Acquiring knowledge in nuclear energy and radiation protection. In addition, the student, once the subject has to be able to know: The Geology and obtaining uranium elements. Operations related to the first part of the nuclear fuel cycle. The operations of the second part of the cycle and possibilities of reprocessing spent fuel. Importance of natural and artificial radioactivity. Learn the techniques of radiation protection. Basic characteristics and applications of the detectors. The uranium enrichment processes in the isotope U-235. Nuclear fuel requirements as to purity uranium, impurities and mechanical characteristics. Fission concepts. Different nuclear thermal power generation technologies based on the fuel composition used. Classification of radioactive waste. Safe storage of radioactive waste to minimize its effect on the environment

C1	CMECES1 That students have demonstrated possession and understanding of knowledge in an area of study that is based on general secondary education, and is usually found at a level that, although supported by advanced textbooks, also includes some aspects that involve knowledge from the cutting edge of their field of study
C2	CMECES2 That students know how to apply their knowledge to their work or vocation in a professional manner and possess the skills that are usually demonstrated through the development and defense of arguments and the resolution of problems within their area of study.
C3	CMECES3 That students have the ability to gather and interpret relevant data (normally within their area of study) to make judgments that include reflection on relevant issues of a social, scientific or ethical nature.
