Engineering diploma Nuclear Chemistry & Environment option

École Nationale Supérieure de Chimie de Montpellier (ENSCM)

Description

ENSCM trains general chemical engineers, with specialization options starting in the second year. The Nuclear Chemistry and Environment option prepares students for the complex challenges of the nuclear sector. The program covers the entire nuclear cycle, from extraction to waste disposal, with an emphasis on the central role of chemistry. Students will study the impact of chemistry on recycling, separation, clean-up, decommissioning and the physical chemistry of materials.

Program content :

  • Radioactivity and Nuclear Energy: introduction to nuclear chemistry and nuclear energy, fundamental concepts of radioactivity.
  • Extractive and Actinide Chemistry: upstream fuel cycle processes, solution chemistry applied to actinides, analytical strategy for actinides, membrane separation processes.
  • Waste treatment and remediation for the nuclear and chemical industries: dismantling engineering, waste treatment and conditioning processes.
  • Nuclear materials: dissolution and irradiation of ceramic matrices, fuel synthesis and refabrication, glass matrices and containment materials.
  • Lecture series: nuclear law, safety and regulation.

At least a third of third-year courses are taught by industry professionals and renowned researchers.

This training leads to positions as research and development engineer, business engineer or process engineer.

This program has been evaluated by I2EN experts and awarded the label in 2019, a guarantee of its academic and professional excellence.
