Experience of implementation in NRNU MEPhI of the education program focused on training of specialists for “Proryv” project

Abstract

The educational program “Nuclear power technologies of new generation” was created at the National Research Nuclear University MEPhI with the goal of selecting talented youth and organizing targeted training for specialists for Rosatom’s strategic project “Proryv”. The “Proryv” project is dedicated to the development of technologies for the transition to a two-component structure of nuclear energy based on thermal and fast reactors with a closed nuclear fuel cycle. The article discusses the experience of implementing this training program at the National Research Nuclear University MEPhI, educational technologies, and statistics on student enrollment and graduation. The possibility of extending existing experience to other universities implementing similar training profiles is also shown.
