This course has been designed for engineers working, or aspiring to do so, in the nuclear decommissioning industry. The syllabus is a unique combination of Engineering, Safety and Environmental material necessary to empower engineers across a broad range of disciplines associated with legacy facilities. The taught aspects of the course draw on research-based expertise from the Departments of Engineering and Environmental Science and on industry-based expertise plus contributions from the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority and regulatory bodies.
Format and Assessment
The course is of two year's duration and is part-time industrial; students attend six one-week taught modules. Following each module students complete a piece of assigned group coursework before embarking on the next module in six weeks time. The coursework is carried out in teams of five or six students and the teams form study/mentoring groups for the duration of the course. Formal examinations are taken in three modules per year in the summer and throughout the course a long individual project is undertaken which is assessed by dissertation and technical paper. The subject of the project will most often be relevant to the student's workplace activities and the majority of the practical aspects of the project may indeed draw on workplace duties. The coursework, examinations and project are assessed in 25:35:40 proportion, respectively. Modules are taught at Lancaster University and at the Westlakes facilities in West Cumbria.
