– Elements of Nuclear Safety and Radiation Protection: starting from the elements of basic physics, the topic of nuclear risk will be addressed, its mitigation, the technical and regulatory tools needed to deal with it and the planning and management of nuclear emergencies, for the protection of the population and environmental protection;
– Case Studies and Lesson Learned: we will proceed with the examination of some cases of loss of control of radioactivity, at a national level (e.g. ex-Piccinelli BS quarry, Montirone BS station, Cemerad TA, etc) and international level (e.g.: Windscale, Chernobyl, Tokaimura, Fukushima, etc) to address and discuss the teachings received and their implementation, in order not to repeat the mistakes of the past;
– Evolution of Nuclear Safety and new frontiers: it will end with an examination of some cases of similar events (e.g. Saluggia-Fukushima), the improvements made in terms of safety and the paradigm shift in the nuclear sector, for a safer choice and sustainable.
