Aim
The aim of this assessment is to test the student's understanding of the Module Learning Outcomes.
Scope of the Report
The scope of the report must be based on the Module Learning Outcomes in an area that will benefit the future career or interests of the student.
However, the report must NOT be about the Chernobyl Nuclear accident.
Examples of Report titles are:
1. Compare and contrast the nuclear power strategies of countries in Europe and the Middle East.
2. Evaluate the decision of various countries to utilise or reject geological disposal plans for nuclear waste.
3. Critique the conflict between the use of renewables and nuclear power in a country's energy mix.
4. Examine the effects and implications of an aging nuclear workforce.
5. Compare and contrast the UK's Generic Design Assessment with other countries' arrangements for nuclear new build.
6. Consider the impact of a nuclear reactor accident, similar to Three Mile Island, on the world today.
7. Evaluate the use of a unified international regulatory arrangement, compared to the current national arrangements.
8. Evaluate the difficulties of utilising nuclear reactors in international transport.
9. Critique the Generation IV nuclear reactor designs and identify the most suitable for implementation.
10. Evaluate open and closed nuclear fuel cycles in an international context.
