- Objectives

The INSTN and the Nuclear Energy Division (DEN) of CEA are continuing their international school in Nuclear Engineering, aiming at promoting knowledge in the field of reactor physics and engineering at a high education level.


- Programme of courses

The 2011 edition will offer 5 one-week advanced courses in nuclear engineering to be held in France (Cadarache, Grenoble, or Saclay), in November and December.

The courses will present the international state-of-the-art in the main topics of nuclear engineering: core physics, thermal hydraulics, materials, fuel, nuclear waste.

  1. Reactor Core Physics: Deterministic and Monte Carlo Methods
  2. Thermal Hydraulics and Safety for Light Water Reactors and Fast Reactors
  3. Materials for Nuclear Reactor Fuels and Structures
  4. Nuclear Fuels for Light Water Reactors and Fast Reactors
  5. Nuclear Waste Management and Dismantling

Lecturers are internationally known experts from CEA, the leading research organization in France for nuclear energy.
