6 Education and training activities<br />

Education in nuclear safety research in particular with RWTH Aachen is supported by IEK-6.<br />

Dirk Bosbach holds the chair for the disposal of nuclear waste and Bruno Thomauske the<br />

chair for nuclear fuel cycle (Fig. 146). Further, a new accredited Master Curriculum "Nuclear<br />

Safety Engineering" was established at RWTH Aachen University in <strong>2010</strong>. 13 students<br />

started this 2 years programme. A new practical course on nuclear measuring techniques in<br />

the radiochemistry laboratories of IEK-6 as well as the lecture "Introduction to Nuclear<br />

Chemistry" was launched in <strong>2010</strong> and has attracted almost 50 students from nuclear safety<br />

engineering, chemistry, computational engineering science and nuclear technology at RWTH<br />

Aachen. 14 PhD students are currently (May 2011) working on research projects related to<br />

the safe management of nuclear waste in <strong>Jülich</strong>. 6 PhD candidates had successfully<br />

defended their theses during the last 2 years, one with summa cum laude at RWTH Aachen<br />

University. Furthermore, 5 diploma and master theses were finished in <strong>2009</strong>/10. IEK-6 is<br />

committed to support the education in nuclear / radio-chemistry in particular with respect to<br />

the safe management of nuclear waste in Aachen and beyond. IEK-6 also participates in the<br />

new graduate school Energy and Climate HITEC, which was founded in 2011 in <strong>Jülich</strong>.<br />
