Dear  friends,

            I welcome you on behalf of numerous students and teaching staff of one of the leading educational institutions of Ukraine, Sevastopol National University of Nuclear Energy and Industry. You will certainly do right if you choose our University as the one where you can get a higher education.

Nuclear science is the most promising area of modern science and industry. That is why it is so attractive for young people who want to occupy an interesting and prestigious position. Sevastopol National University of Nuclear Energy and Industry is able to grant you such a possibility. The teachers and scientists working for SNUNEI will do their best to make the education provided by the University meet all modern requirements and international standards.

I hope, our co-operation will be fruitful and mutually beneficial and I also expect it to influence on scientific and technological progress in our countries.

Rector of SNUNEI,                 Sergey B. Smirnov

Sevastopol National University of Nuclear Energy and Industry (SNUNEI) is the base institution of the Ministry of Fuel and Energy of Ukraine. It trains specialists in power plants operation for the nuclear industrial complex, energy supply and energy preserving systems, in environmental protection, and in information technologies.

The University carries out unique practical training on real equipment.

The central academic building of the University was designed by a well-known architect Alexander Vensan and is considered to be an architectural monument.

The university campus is located on a picturesque shore of the Black Sea Bay. The University teaching staff is made up of skilled specialists. The University has a highly developed research and educational equipment, including three nuclear power installations with an educational research reactor.

An extensive training base, including a library, several computer classes, and training laboratories and a operational nuclear research reactor “IR-100”, equipped by everything that is necessary for teaching and research work are available here.

The University infrastructure includes hostels, sport grounds, a cafe, a student club, a canteen for 2000 places, and a health center.

   SNUNEI offers bachelor’s and master’s degree programmes in the following fields of training:

Field of training:    Power engineering.
Major:   Nuclear power engineering.

      After graduation young engineers work at NPSs as operators at control rooms, turbine rooms, etc.

      Practical training is carried out on genuine equipment and on simulators in conditions similar to those of enterprises. Training equipment includes a research reactor IR-100 and an analytical simulator of an NPP unit control room, this simulator being the only one in Ukraine.

      On graduation students get Bachelor's and Master's degrees.

Specialization:
      Physical protection of nuclear plants, nuclear materials and others sources of ionizing radiations.

   The training performed under the license of State Committee for Nuclear Regulation of Ukraine lasts 18 months (for Bachelors in nuclear power engineering).

    The Department has two unique laboratories: (1) the Laboratory of Technical Means of Physical Protection and (2) the Laboratory of Registration and Monitoring of Fissile Materials.

      Graduates get Master's degree in physical protection of nuclear plants, fissile materials, and radioactive wastes.

Field of training: Automation and computer integrated technologies.
Major: Automated operation of technological processes.

 Training is carried out with the help of the equipment of the Chair of Automation of Technological Processes and Production. The Chair is provided with unique laboratory equipment including simulators of a NPP. Practical training is carried out at NPSs. 

      Highly professional specialists with a great experience of NPS operation work at the Chair and train students for getting Bachelor's, Specialist's and Master's degrees. The NPS personnel have an opportunity to improve their skills at the Chair.

      After graduation young engineers work at NPSs at the Section of Thermal Automation and Measurements, in training centers, etc.

Field of training:  Electrical engineering and electrical technologies.
Major:   Electrical Power plants.

Students get a Master's degree in repairing, technology development and operation of power plants and electricity lines. High practical training level is ensured by the training and laboratory base of the Chair of Power Plants Operation.

The following training laboratories are available: (1) the Laboratory of Electric Mechanics and Emergency Automation; (2) the Laboratory of Relay Protection Elements and Automation; (3) the Laboratory of Relay Protection Operation; (4)the Laboratory of Computer Training Systems.

    The Chair's training peculiarity is its accent on operation. Theoretical and practical training at SNUNEI as well as various practical training at electrical enterprises ensure the graduates to become highly qualified specialists ready to accomplish their professional duties.

Field of training: Electrical engineering and electrical technologies.
     Major: Non-Conventional energy sources.

      It is the energy of the sun, wind, hydro-thermal energy, energy of small rivers, hydrogen power engineering, energy of sea and earth.

     Graduates can work at wind power plants, thermal power stations, hydro-electric power stations, including tide ones, at small power plants, at biologically fueled power stations, at thermo- and power supply systems as well as at compound power complexes with alternative power sources.

      Students get practical training at enterprises.

Field of training:    Chemical technology.
Major: Chemical technology of rare earth elements and materials based of them.

Specializations

Graduates get a Master's degree  in operation and repair of  radiation (dosimetry) control facilities, technological facilities of water-chemical conditions (radio-chemistry facilities) and decontamination facilities, technological equipment of nuclear chemical enterprises, technology of  handling  radioactive wastes and spent nuclear fuel, decommissioning procedures for NPSs.

Training facilities include:

•           Radiation safety classrooms, classrooms of technical facilities and systems of radiation control, for instruction in repairing, for special chemical water treatment and chemical monitoring at NNSs, for physical and chemical analysis methods;

•           Laboratories of fundamentals of dosimetry and nuclear physics,  analytical chemistry  and special chemical  water treatment,  radiometry and spectrometry.

      A Radiochemical Laboratory for Dealing with Open Radioactive Matters is organized on the territory of IR-100.
