Summary
In the field of nuclear energy, regardless of the specific area, hands-on experience is irreplaceable. For this reason, there is a strong emphasis on bridging theoretical knowledge with practical demonstrations.
Through the excursion, students of this field of study gain an entirely new perspective, as it allows them to enter highly secured and technologically unique environments that cannot be fully simulated under academic conditions.
Benefits:
Safety in Practice: Understanding nuclear safety systems, emergency preparedness, and radiation protection in real-world operations.
Consolidation of Technical Knowledge: Visualization of complex processes, such as fission reaction control or turbine operations, as well as welding tests, manufacturing procedures, and fuel storage.
Building Professional Identity: Direct interaction with experts, gaining firsthand practical experience, and becoming familiar with the high standards required across all sectors of the nuclear industry.
During the course of study, excursions to the following facilities will be scheduled:
Temelín NPP, Dukovany NPP, hydroelectric and thermal power plants.
ŠKODA JS a.s. and Doosan Škoda Power Plzeň.
Nuclear Research Institute in Řež near Prague.
Excursion to the VR-1 "Vrabec" training reactor in Prague.
And others."
