Context
•
Need for materials Science competences
– Have the current PWR last longer : durability issues
– Future reactors EPR, Gen III, Gen IV
2
Assets
– Joint Master with EDF (Matérial Ageing Institute)* and CEA * :
50% of the lectures in the Master are given by engineers from CEA
and EDF
– A direct contact with engineers of the field and future employers :
• Part of the lectures on site in EDF-Paris or CEA Cadarache
• Visits of research labs
– A common set of lectures (3 monthes) then 2 options
• Structures
• Fuel
– A serie of general interest lectures on energy issues :

Partnership Materials
ageing Institute
.
MAI
The Materials Ageing Institute is a utility oriented
research center founded in January 2008 by
Electricité de France
(EDF), the Tokyo Electric Power Corporation
(TEPCO) and the US
Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI).
The key purpose of the MAI is to direct efforts in
research and development
towards ageing of materials used in electrical
power facilities.
This initiative
by the world’s biggest nuclear operators is
motivated by the conviction that sharing
research, experimental results, feedback and
scientific information will significantly contribute
to our understanding of the ageing processes in
various materials employed in both nuclear and
non-nuclear power plants. The combination of
operational know-how, experimental knowledge,
and computer modelling of coupled processes
can then be used to anticipate ageing and
henceforth
