M.Tech. (Nuclear Engineering)

COURSE DESCRIPTION

---

M.Tech. Nuclear Engineering or Master of Technology in Nuclear Engineering is a two-year postgraduate programme. Nuclear engineering is the branch of engineering concerned with the application of the breakdown (fission) as well as the fusion of atomic nuclei and the application of other sub-atomic physics, based on the principles of nuclear physics. The programme provides research and development expertise in the experimental and theoretical studies of fusion and plasma physics, radioisotope applications in manufacturing engineering, computer-aided tomography, reactor safety studies, heat transfer in nuclear sub-systems, and development of radiation detectors. Nuclear engineers research and develop the processes, instruments, and systems used to derive benefits from nuclear energy and radiation. They design, develop, monitor, and operate nuclear plants to generate power. They may work on the nuclear fuel cycle such as production, handling, and use of nuclear fuel and the safe disposal of waste produced by the generation of nuclear energy or on the development of fusion energy. Some specialize in the development of nuclear power sources for naval vessels or spacecraft; others find industrial and medical uses for radioactive materials, as in equipment used to diagnose and treat medical problems.

How is M.Tech. Nuclear Engineering Beneficial?

• Beneficial to provide in-depth training in the field of nuclear reactor physics for the purpose of using existing tools, developing and installing third-generation reactors and designing and developing the future systems still known as 'integrated systems'.
• The program equips you with basic and advanced knowledge related to the energy conversion process based on nuclear fission.
• The course is beneficial for further studies in research as Ph.D.
