M.Tech Nuclear Engineering

Master of Technology in Nuclear Engineering

M.Tech Nuclear Engineering or Master of Technology in Nuclear Engineering is a two-year Post-Graduate program. Nuclear engineering is the branch of engineering concerned with the application of the breakdown (fission) as well as the fusion of atomic nuclei and the application of other sub-atomic physics, based on the principles of nuclear physics. The Master of Technology program in Nuclear Engineering provides research and development expertise in the experimental and theoretical studies of fusion and plasma physics, radioisotope applications in manufacturing engineering, computer-aided tomography, reactor safety studies, heat transfer in nuclear sub-systems, and the development of radiation detectors.

Nuclear Engineers in the Master of Technology program research and develop the processes, instruments, and systems used to derive benefits from nuclear energy and radiation. They design, develop, monitor, and operate nuclear plants to generate power. They may work on the nuclear fuel cycle such as production, handling, and use of nuclear fuel and the safe disposal of waste produced by the generation of nuclear energy or on the development of fusion energy. Some specialize in the development of nuclear power sources for naval vessels or spacecraft; others find industrial and medical uses for radioactive materials, as in equipment used to diagnose and treat medical problems.
