Joint program EPFL-ETHZ

Towards sustainable energy supply.

Clean, affordable and reliably available energy is of paramount importance for the well-being of industrialized economies and the development of emerging countries.

Nuclear power is one of the principal options for closing the growing energy gap in a mid-term perspective and, depending on the availability of new generations of nuclear facilities and technologies, also a potentially crucial resource in the long-term.

Program’s objectives

The program in Nuclear Engineering aims to:

• provide in-depth knowledge on the fundamentals and technology of harnessing nuclear fission for energy supply
• present the basic principles and challenges of controlled nuclear fusion
• provide knowledge on nuclear techniques in medical research and industry
• present a view on the complete nuclear energy conversion system and the entire fuel cycle from uranium mining to the back-end
• offer the background necessary to integrate nuclear energy into energy systems as a whole
