A rigorous, industry-aligned curriculum built with ex-BARC, AERB, and DAE scientists and validated by ENEEP — Europe's reactor experimental platform. From neutron physics to advanced reactor systems, with hands-on reactor experiments.
Covering the full engineering stack of nuclear power — from subatomic physics to regulatory frameworks, thermal hydraulics, and advanced reactor design. Modules with ⚗ Lab include ENEEP reactor-based practical experiments.
Participants have full flexibility to choose how many modules to take and when — build a custom learning path at your own pace.
As India moves toward 100 GW of nuclear capacity and the SHANTI Act opens the sector to private players, the demand for qualified nuclear engineers has never been greater.
Our instructors are retired scientists and engineers from BARC, AERB, and DAE with decades of experience in reactor physics, thermal hydraulics, and nuclear safety at India's flagship atomic research institutions.
Through our ENEEP partnership, participants gain access to European research reactors for live experiments — criticality measurements, neutron flux mapping, gamma spectrometry, and more.
Course content is co-designed and validated by ENEEP, the EU Horizon-funded nuclear education consortium — ensuring alignment with international standards and best practices.
Designed equally for engineers from NPCIL, DAE, BARC, and private sector companies including L&T, BHEL, Adani, and Tata — relevant to the full Indian nuclear ecosystem.
All modules on nuclear safety, licensing, and radiation protection are aligned with AERB guidelines, regulatory codes, and IAEA safety standards — directly applicable to Indian plant environments.
Participants earn a joint certification recognised by Ushankk and ENEEP, with direct relevance to roles in reactor operations, nuclear safety, fuel cycle management, and engineering design.
ENEEP is a European Union Horizon-funded initiative that provides universities and training institutions worldwide with structured access to research reactors for nuclear education experiments.
The ENEEP collaboration gives Ushankk Nuclear Academy participants something no classroom can replicate — time inside an operating research reactor facility, supervised by European nuclear scientists.
These practical sessions are integrated into the curriculum as assessed components, not optional extras. Every participant completes reactor experiments that directly support their coursework in reactor physics, instrumentation, and radiation protection.
Practical experiments include:
Lectures are delivered by retired scientists and engineers from BARC, AERB, and DAE — with direct, hands-on experience across reactor design, fuel cycles, and nuclear safety & regulation gained over full careers at India's premier nuclear institutions.
* Individual faculty profiles available on request.
Ushankk Nuclear Academy is looking for scientists and engineers from the Department of Atomic Energy to join us as guest lecturers and subject matter experts.
This is an opportunity to pass on decades of hands-on nuclear expertise to the next generation of Indian nuclear engineers — on your own schedule, with full flexibility on modules and timing.
Takes less than 5 minutes. We'll be in touch within a week.
Engagement is structured as an independent consulting arrangement. You will be required to confirm post-retirement clearance from your former institution before commencement.
