About the program

The Nuclear Criticality Safety program from University of Nevada, Las Vegas will provide evidence that the graduate has the appropriate education to become a certified NCS Engineer in NRC-licensed facilities, US DOE’s national laboratories, and the Navy Reactors program.

The NCSE Certificate program consists of four nuclear engineering courses (twelve credits total) that include three required courses and a related/approved elective course. In addition, many of the proposed topic areas, e.g., Introduction to Nuclear Criticality Safety, are also appropriate subjects for general nuclear engineering graduate students (i.e., not NCS engineers), while other certificate program courses, e.g., Monte Carlo Methods are appropriate for both UNLV’s NE students as well as health and medical physics students.

Career Possibilities

The Nuclear Criticality Safety Certificate program is designed to provide current engineers with the components to help train and maintain a well-qualified workforce in nuclear criticality engineering related fields.

Courses Included:

  • Nuclear Criticality Safety Engineering
  • Monte Carlo Methods in Nuclear Engineering
