Excellence in Nuclear Engineering
The University Network of Excellence in Nuclear Engineering (UNENE) is a Canadian based alliance of universities, nuclear power utilities, research and regulatory agencies for the support and development of nuclear education, research and development capability in Canadian universities. UNENE was established as a not-for-profit corporation in 2002.
Objectives
The main purpose of UNENE is to assure a sustainable supply of qualified nuclear engineers and scientists to meet the current and future needs of the Canadian nuclear industry through university education, university-based training and by encouraging young people to choose nuclear careers. The primary means of doing this are to establish new nuclear professorships in Ontario universities and to enhance funding for nuclear research in selected universities in order to retain and sustain nuclear capability in the universities, now in danger of being lost. The Network organizes and delivesr through its universities educational programs appropriate to students planning to enter the industry and to those already employed.
