Nuclear Energy
Goals
Nuclear energy represents a great technological and economic area, covering multidisciplinary skills and various jobs (project management, engineering,safety, ...). This module, that favours an industrial approach aims to give students both scientific and technical training in the various fields of nuclear energy. A wide part will be devoted to the study of current nuclear power reactors. This course will also provide an overview of the solutions to answer nuclear safety and people protection. It will be largely provided by experts in the field (Framatome, EDF).
Programme

Programme elements related to sustainable development goals
La production d'énergie nucléaire par fission thermique est au cœur de ce cours : il s'agit d'une piste pour la production d'énergie décarbonée. Actuellement utilisée pour la production d'électricité, des exemple d'utilisations alternatives sont abordés en BE.
