ENVIRONMENTThe MSc SNEAM is designed to provideskilled and specialized human resourcesto the European and international statesdeveloping nuclear technology includingDismantlement and Decommissioning ofNuclear installations, Waste management,Energy production and Medicalapplications. The combination of scientificand technical skills with managementknowledge and strong safety culture(human factor and organizational safety) ismeant to put the human being andenvironment safety as the priority numberone.

COURSE AIMSThe SNEAM program offers3 specializations:• SNEAM / ANWM - Advanced NuclearWaste Management specializes innuclear waste management. It developsfundamental scientific, technical andindustrial knowledge, has a particularfocus on the backend of the nuclear fuelcycle, nuclear waste management, long-term safety and environmental impactassessment and provides strong insightson dismantlement and decommissioningof nuclear installations.

• SNEAM / NEPIA - Nuclear EnergyProduction & Industrial Applicationsspecializes in nuclear sciencesapplications including energy production(power reactors) and industrial

applications (particle beam technology,instrumentation…). A particular focus isput on the safety and radioprotection, tobe considered in the management of alarge project in this field.

• SNEAM / NUTMA - NUclearTechnologies for Medical Applications.This specialty develops fundamentalscientific, technical and industrialknowledge of the different nucleartechnologies used in the medical field. Ithas a particular focus on the safety andradioprotection, to be considered in themanagement of a large project in thisfield.

PROGRAMScientific and technical modules:• Physics of Ionizing Radiation• Radiochemistry and Fuel Cycle• Safety and Radioprotection• Nuclear Materials• Nuclear Reactors and Accelerators• Operation and Maintenance• Radioactive Waste Management and

Disposal
