Nuclear Engineering & Nuclear Fuel Cycle Technologies
48 online programmes, designed with industry and taught by practising engineers.
Nuclear Engineering and Nuclear Fuel Cycle Technologies in India
India's nuclear programme is state-led and centred on the Department of Atomic Energy, with operations managed by the Nuclear Power Corporation of India and research carried out at the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre. Reactor sites are located at places such as Tarapur, Kakrapar, Kudankulam and Rawatbhata. Regulation is handled by the Atomic Energy Regulatory Board, which sets safety standards for reactors and fuel facilities. Engineers in this field work on reactor systems, fuel cycle technologies, radiation safety and materials, with expertise supported by institutions such as the Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research.
