This short course delivers a condensed, high-level overview of the core topics covered in the full UN806 Nuclear Fuel Engineering program. Participants will explore the nuclear fuel cycle, fuel design and components, fuel manufacturing processes, in-reactor behaviour, failure modes and effects analyses, fuel performance under both design-basis and severe accident conditions, and the framework for fuel qualification. The course provides a focused, accessible introduction to the fundamentals of nuclear fuel engineering.
