M2 Nuclear Engineering

The Master’s in Nuclear Energy is an international program that equips talented students from around the world with cutting-edge expertise to drive innovation in the nuclear industry and contribute to the global transition towards low-carbon energy.  As a reliable, large-scale and low-emission source of electricity, nuclear power plays a key role in the fight against climate change by helping reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This programm trains tomorrow's experts to tackle global challenges.

Five tracks are proposed :

• Fuel Cycle: this course aims to learn the physico-chemistry necessary for the different stages of the nuclear fuel cycle. This track is only accessible from M1 Chemistry;
• Decommissionning and Waste Management: this course aims to acquire the knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary to conduct a project to clean up and dismantle old nuclear installations (reactor, plant, workshop, laboratory, installation, contaminated site or soil) and to manage radioactive waste;
• Operation: the objective here is to learn how to operate, control and maintain a nuclear installation, in particular a nuclear power plant;
• Nuclear Plant Design: this course provides students with in-depth training in the design and construction of nuclear facilities such as nuclear power plants or fuel processing plants:
• Nuclear Reactor Physics and Engineering : this training is focusing on the physics of nuclear reactors. This track is only accessible from M1 Physics.
