The course teaches how to use the calculation and experimental tools existing in this field, how to develop, install and optimize the third-generation reactors and design and perfect the new-generation nuclear systems.
The course also includes a human, economic and social sciences education program enabling students to find out and learn the place of nuclear in the energy context and understand the related societal and environmental challenges.
Organisation:
7 months of the "academic training module” type in nuclear reactor physics and PWR operation.
Project:
5-month internship in industry or in a research and R&D body.
The nuclear engineering training course is built around 3 major skills:
C.I Basic nuclear engineering specialty skills: knowledge and understanding of the basic sciences linked to the nuclear engineering specialty, analysis and summarizing of the associated concepts.
C.II Engineering skills: proficiency in nuclear engineering methods and tools in your fields of application (research, experimentation, design, operation).
C.III Cross-business skills, interpersonal and intrapersonal skills
It is based on a training program tailored to the needs of industrial operators and built upon 7 course units (skill units) described in the title reference package.
The course units are as follows:
CU1 Radiation and materials
CU2 Introduction to reactor physics
CU3 Reactor physics in depth
CU4 Safety of nuclear systems
CU5 Nuclear culture and business culture
CU6 Operation of pressurized water reactors
CU1-6 (academic CUs)
CU7 (professional role-playing)
