工程科学研究生文凭-核工程

核辩论仍在进行中。不管西方世界提出“新建”提案的结果如何，现有的反应堆组合都需要维护，保养，运行并最终退役。有待管理的废物，有需要维修和处理的燃料循环。他们都需要工程师了解核电站所处独特环境的知识。此外，许多国家正在评估核能计划，将其作为提供安全的低碳能源的众多机制之一，并且一些国家已着手进行国家核建造计划。此类计划正在带来许多全球挑战，尤其是由于扩散问题和环境安全。
The nuclear debate is ongoing. Irrespective of the outcome of 'new build' proposals in the Western world, there is an existing portfolio of reactors that require maintenance, servicing, operation and eventually decommissioning. There is waste to be managed and there is a fuel cycle that requires servicing and handling. They all necessitate engineers with an understanding of the unique environment experienced at nuclear sites.<br><br>In addition, many countries are assessing nuclear energy programmes as one of a number of mechanisms to provide secure, low-carbon energy, and some have embarked on national nuclear build programmes. Such programmes are raising many global challenges, not least due to proliferation concerns and environmental security.<br><br>The long-term needs of the nuclear engineering field are clear and many nations have long-term commitments to nuclear engineering including conventional power generation, radiological applications in medicine and healthcare, and proliferation monitoring and control. There is an ageing workforce in the sector and ample opportunities for nuclear engineering graduates.
