About us
The International Nuclear Academy has been established with the aim of addressing the critical shortage of engineers and managers which is confronting the Nuclear Renaissance.
The International Nuclear Academy is located in Burgundy, at the heart of the French nuclear industry area.
The Academy offers:
professional training and services to the nuclear industry
tailored products to businesses partnering with the nuclear industry (Finance, Consultancy, HR etc.) or moving into the nuclear sector from other areas
special assistance to countries new to nuclear technology.
All our sessions are held in English.
