Cilji in kompetence:
Objectives and competences:

Cilj predmeta je osvojitev poznavanja problematike radioaktivnih odpadkov, seznanitev z izbranimi tehnikami karakterizacije in obdelave radioaktivnih odpadkov ter načinov varnega hranjenja in odlaganja.

Cilj se navezuje na kompetence:
- Obvladovanje raziskovalnih metod, postopkov in procesov ter razvoj kritične in samokritične
presoje;
- Sposobnost uporabe znanja na akademski ravni in v praksi;
- Upravljanje z radioaktivnimi viri in odpadki do ravni, ki jo terja raziskovalno delo in reševanje strokovnih problemov v praksi;
- Uporaba teoretskih in eksperimentalnih metod pri razreševanju problemov, povezanih z upravljanjem z radioaktivnimi odpadki.

The objective of the course is to gain an in-depth knowledge and understanding of issues related to radioactive waste, as well as acquaintance with the selected techniques of characterization and
conditioning of radioactive waste, and methods for their safe storage and disposal into the environment.

This objective is related to the competences:
- Command of research methods, procedures and processes, and well-formed skills for critical judgment;
- Critical thinking at both academic level and in practice;
- Ability to manage radioactive sources and waste to the level required by research work as well as solving professional problems in practice;
- Ability to apply theoretical and experimental methods in solving problems related to radioactive waste management.
