Course overview and goals
Nuclear facility physical protection and the disaster preparedness, ther heart measures in Nuclear Security, are taught by lecture and numerical simulation exercise. Regulation of Nuclear material and radioactive substances and their physical protection, the pronciple of the structure material damage with hydro dynamics, the disaster preparedness for sabotage attack to nuclear material and radioactive substances are covered. This lecture is held on Feb 28 and 29 as intensive course.
