NTSE - Nuclear: Technologies, Safety and Environment


NTSE in a few words 

The principal mission of the NTSE option naturally consists in training engineers to work in the major corporations and institutions in the nuclear field. France, where electricity is largely produced in nuclear power stations, is active in all the phases of the fuel cycle and has a full range of facilities presenting various risks. The safety systems at these facilities must be designed according to the nature and magnitude of the hazards. But the option is not limited to the field of power production. It also covers other nuclear applications, including industrial and medical applications.


Program details 

Due to the variety of potential jobs, the program does not specialize too quickly, but instead gives the students :

  • Nuclear physics
  • Modeling
  • Laws and regulations
  • Working in research groups
