Welcome to the Centre for Nuclear Engineering
The Centre brings together a number of disciplines including mechanical, chemical and materials engineering, modelling and radio ecology to create one of the most comprehensive research and teaching groups dedicated to nuclear engineering and science.
Imperial College has a long history of nuclear research and teaching, dating back to the post war period. The need to continue and expand the generation of nuclear power is now widely recognised as part of the solution to the world's problem of meeting rapidly growing energy demands whilst at the same time protecting the environment. In order to achieve the rapid growth necessary, there has been a global nuclear renaissance.
The Centre exists to provide a forum for researchers engaged in the wide spectrum of topics relevant to nuclear research. These researchers are drawn from all Departments and Centres at Imperial College London. Greater cross-disciplinary awareness of the research interests and capabilities of Centre members encourages collaboration and supports joint teaching activities.
