TRAINING

In order to promote AFCEN Codes and their appropria- tion, the Training Committee ensures that certified training is available to users of AFCEN codes. AFCEN does not personally run training courses, so that its experts can remain focused on drafting codes. As such, the Training Committee outsources training to external providers and consequently assesses their ability to provide such training. The attribution of this certificate relies on the prior control of the training organization: its tools, the content of training materials, the professionalism of teachers in charge of trainings, effective conditions of achieving trainings and monitoring. The certificate ensures that the highest quality of service is made available to users to enable them to acquire knowledge, understanding, ownership and control requirements SHAPING THE RULES FOR A and codes use practices.

Special emphasis is given to separation and transmutation—a field in which recent advances are leading to a new cycle-reactor approach. This new approach includes the notion of recycling, and even of “mutlirecycling”, for a complete incineration of long-lived minor actinides within the reactor.

PARIS-SUD UNIVERSITY

Master in Nuclear Energy gathers 8 institutions – Paris-Sud University, Ecole Polytechnique, Chimie ParisTech, Ecole des Ponts ParisTech, ENSTA ParisTech, Mines ParisTech, Centrale Supélec, and CEA/INSTN – and was founded with active support from EDF. Delivered by Paris-Saclay University, the degree is one of the national and international reference training programs in the field of nuclear energy. 5 Majors are offered in second year, which cover all nuclear engineering professions: reactor physics, design of nuclear facilities, fuel cycle, operation, dismantling and waste management. All programs are taught in English by A MAJOR PLAYER IN HIGHER-EDUCATION professors from our founding members, researchers from AND RESEARCH CEA and CNRS, and speakers from our industrial partners Paris-Sud University is a prestigious and multidisciplinary such as Andra, EDF, Framatome and Orano. university with a central science and health science feature.
