While the U.S. has a limited nuclear industry, other countries rely strongly on this power resource and believe firmly in its benefits. MIT students in this field who go abroad have the chance to study and work in communities that are positive about the nuclear industry and actively engaged with it.

Details about MISTI Nuclear Opportunities
Going beyond the confines of the U.S. nuclear industry, MISTI students intern with nuclear powerhouse companies in countries that are world leaders in this industry.

Sample Hosts

  • Areva
  • BGU-Eugene Shwageraus
  • CEA
  • EDF
  • National Research Nuclear University MEPhI, Russia
  • Taiwan University
  • Universita di Pisa Physics Lab

Sample Projects

  • Implement and validate a functionality that would enable radiotoxicity calculations for mass inventories of spent fuel, in France.
  • Meld elements into an alloy to create a ribbon strip that works as “glue” when welding bronze and beryllium in the first wall of the fusion ITER reactor, being constructed in France.
  • Conduct nuclear plant seismic risk analysis, and seek new ways to interpolate data and reduce the computational time required to run the structural code, in France.
