Acquire the industrial aspects of fuel cycle and mainly isotopic enrichment, fuel making, main components of reactors, PUREX process and vitrification. Visits of industrial sites in these domains (EC OMI3 – about 10 hours).

Fundamental reminders of NUC3 about uranium fuel cycle and presentation of various industrial aspects of the fuel cycle by industrial speakers : deposits, chemistry of uranium, fuel elaboration, isotopic enrichment of U (diffusion and centrifugation), making heavy components of reactors, practical aspects of the operation of a reactor, PUREX process and other advanced processes (DIAMEX, SANEX,…) storage and disposal of waste with ong-term management of waste. Legislative aspects, nuclear trade and work in radioactive areas.

Visits of industrial sites (AREVA La Hague + the other sites according to years) within the framework of the EC OMI 3 for 7 hours on site (specific to nuclear and in link with the theoritical EC NUC3 and OMI2 for other visits).

Presentation and written report on a topic related to the use of nuclear energy.

Idem to NUC3 plus specific documents and CD of industrial speakers and companies.
