Applied Nuclear Physics

Continuing education for professionals

Within the division of applied nuclear physics, Nordic Academy for Nuclear Safety and Security is located, an interdisciplinary competence platform with researchers and teachers from different universities complemented by experts from regulators, agencies and the industry. Through NANSS we give courses in nuclear safety and security, and about nuclear technology, for professionals in the field. You can find more information on the NANSS pages.
