This graduate diploma consists of four specific courses related to nuclear power plant design, plant safety, design process and procedures, and design for operations and maintenance. The diploma is intended for advanced students currently working in the nuclear industry that are performing nuclear design related activities or intend to as part of their career plans. The use of modern techniques, tools and software will be used throughout the diploma. To earn the Graduate Diploma in Nuclear Design Engineering, students are required to complete four mandatory courses. The four courses must be completed within a three-year period.
