Good Morning, Karlsruhe! at Campus South - Special Event Edition
KIT, Campus Süd
30.95 Seminarraum Forum A/B (1. Obergeschoss) …

Special Event: Q&A with Simon Stoll, Karlsruhe Foreigners' Office
 
Welcome to KIT! The International Welcome Office (IWO) is here to support you and your family from day one.
 
Every second Monday morning we invite you to our welcome event Good Morning, Karlsruhe! The event is aimed at international researchers and academic guests and offers uncomplicated initial orientation, personal support and opportunities for exchange. Get to know the IWO team personally over a cup of coffee or tea, ask your questions directly and network with other international researchers - regardless of whether you have been working at KIT for some time or are new to KIT.

11:00 - 12:00 
Assessment of First Wall Manufacturing Technologies for Fusion Breeding Blankets: From ITER TBM to DEMO
Workshop
KIT Campus Nord, INR, Bau 521, 2. OG, Raum 302
Herr Gaurav Verma, Karlsruher Institut für Technologie, Institut für Neutronenphysik und Reaktortechnik, INR

In fusion reactors, the Breeding Blanket (BB) is essential for both heat extraction and tritium breeding. With-in the BB, the First Wall (FW) which forms the plasma-facing boundary is one of the most critical and tech-nologically challenging components to manufacture as it is subjected to extreme operating loads. Extensive research over the past three decades mostly among ITER member states has focused on developing robust FW manufacturing technologies for various Test Blanket Module (TBM) and DEMO concepts, especially those utilizing Reduced Activation Ferritic Martensitic (RAFM) steels. Reported fabrication routes include conventional processes such as Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) + cold forming and Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) as well as emerging additive and hybrid methods such as Selective Laser Melting (SLM) and Cold Spray deposition.
 
This seminar aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the various FW manufacturing technologies. To assess the technological maturity and practical applicability of these approaches for DEMO scale FW manu-facturing, a comparative evaluation has been carried out using five key criteria relevant to component pro-duction: manufacturability, industrial scalability, production quality, cost-effectiveness, and its coverage in nuclear codes and standards (C&S). The evaluation indicates that conventional technologies such as EDM + forming and HIP-based manufacturing routes for U-shaped FW designs currently demonstrate relatively higher maturity compared to the recently emerging additive and hybrid manufacturing techniques. For the non-typical Japanese ?O? Cylindrical blanket configuration, conventional forging-based FW manufacturing remains the most mature solution. However, it is constrained by the reliance on fusion welding for joining pressure boundary components, which introduces concerns regarding joint reliability. To address this limita-tion by eliminating fusion welds in the FW pressure boundary region, a novel modular Monoblock configura-tion recently developed at KIT has been presented and its advantages over other FW manufacturing tech-nologies is highlighted.

Welcome Event for Doctoral Researchers
Karlsruhe Institute for Technology (KIT)
Campus South …
Jutta Klein-Hitpaß, Karlsruhe House of Young Scientists (KHYS)

Have you just started your doctoral research period? And would like to know more about the services offered at KIT for doctoral researchers? Then come and join other German and international KIT PhD students at the welcome event for doctoral researchers.
In a presentation, we will give you plenty of information on how to best profit from the doctoral research period (including information on research stays abroad and services offered at KIT). In addition, there will be two brief testimonials by more advanced fellow researchers. They will share their experiences with you concerning doing the PhD at KIT and will be happy to answer your questions. At the end of the event, there will be time for some networking during a get-together involving snacks and drinks.

We would in particular like to welcome those who have recently started their doctorate – however, the event is open to all German and international KIT doctoral researchers. While the program will be presented in English, German-speaking participants are also warmly encouraged to attend.

The Welcome Event takes place four times a year. One of these events is staged on Campus North.

Personen, die für den Transport radioaktiver Gefahrgüter verantwortlich sind, müssen Fachkenntnisse nachweisen und diese in regelmäßigen Abständen aktualisieren und vertiefen.
 
Folgende Themen werden behandelt:
 
Voraussetzungen und Anforderungen für den Transport radioaktiver Stoffe nach Atomrecht, Strahlenschutzrecht und Verkehrsrecht Verantwortlichkeiten, Aufgaben, Pflichten, Haftung der beauftragten Personen Die Klasse 7: Atomrechtliche Grundlagen, Klasse 7 ADR, Transportgenehmigung, Klassifizierung radioaktiver Güter, Freistellungen und Begrenzungen Der Transport radioaktiver Stoffe: Verpackung, Verladen, Behältertypen und Versandstücke, Kennzeichnung, Begleitpapiere, besondere Transportanforderungen und -prüfungen, Dokumentation Anforderungen an das Beförderungsmittel und die Beförderung Fallbeispiele und praktische Übungen.  
Der 2-tägige Kurs dient der Schulung von Personen, die für die Vorbereitung und Durchführung von Transporten radioaktiver Materialien verantwortlich sind und vermittelt entsprechende Fachkenntnisse nach Kapitel 1.3 bzw. 1.7.2.5 ADR. 

 
Entrepreneurship Festival
K26 und TRIANGEL

Vom 10. bis 13. November wird das KIT zum Treffpunkt für alle, die unternehmerisch denken, Neues ausprobieren und Zukunft gestalten wollen. Das erste Entrepreneurship Festival am KIT wird von der KIT-Gründerschmiede gemeinsam mit der Initiative maKeIT und dem TRIANGEL organisiert.
 
Vier Tage lang bietet das Festival mit Matchmaking, Masterclasses, Founder Talks und Networking Events vielfältige Möglichkeiten, Entrepreneurship am KIT kennenzulernen, Wissen zu vertiefen und neue Kontakte zu knüpfen. Ob du eine erste Idee hast, bereits gründest, aus der Forschung kommst oder einfach neugierig bist: Im Festivalprogramm findest du Veranstaltungen und Formate für unterschiedliche Interessen und Perspektiven.
 
Neugierig geworden? Entdecke das Festivalprogramm, finde passende Formate und melde dich an! Alle Informationen findest du auf unserer Website: https://kit-gruenderschmiede.de/entrepreneurship-festival/
