STAR – Reactor Plant Design and Operation
The principal objective of the STAR option Systems and Technologies Applied to nuclear Reactors consists of training engineers to work in the nuclear industry in France and on the international stage (firms, safety authorities, independent experts). The option is focused on the nuclear reactors and covers: operation and maintenance of the current reactors, developing and installing third-generation reactors (EPR and other competitors), and design of the fourth-generation reactors.
The option offers a full range of highly skilled jobs, in the nuclear engineering industrial sector:
- plant operating engineer ;
- safety engineer ;
- control systems engineer ;
- R&D engineer ;
- reactor core performance engineer ;
- neutronics engineer ;
- design engineer ;
- modelling engineer (core neutronics, thermohydraulics systems).
This requires the joint teaching of a variety of disciplines with content that is both scientific and technological in the following fields:
- nuclear physics ;
- nuclear materials ;
- safety, control systems ;
- neutronics ;
- thermohydraulics ;
- human factors ;
- organizationnal reliability.
