The Nuclear Energy Industry: Knowledge Needed!
Nuclear power remains an important component of the global energy mix, and is set to grow rapidly to help power the world's developing economies.
There is a critical lack of experienced personnel to drive this development, and the industry is in urgent need of personnel with a good understanding of nuclear fundamentals.
This nuclear distance learning programme provides thorough underpinning knowledge to demystify every aspect of the nuclear industry. This is a non-technical programme: any technical terms that are used will be introduced and explained simply and clearly. One of the aims of the course is to allow you to speak the language of the nuclear industry even if you have no technical or scientific background.
This clear and complete explanation of a complex energy sector will give you the knowledge you need to work in or alongside the nuclear power industry, delivering a critical link in the global energy demands of the future.
