Atomic Energy

Top managers of the nuclear energy industry visited the Institute of IATS in mid-March, visited laboratories and the research center, got acquainted with innovative approaches to education, met with students, researchers and teaching staff of the Institute and discussed the importance of training highly qualified specialists for the energy industry. HR specialists of Energoatom noted the high level of knowledge and demand for graduates of Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute. 

It is with pain and anger that we perceive every report of the destruction of energy infrastructure facilities on our territory by our savage neighbor. The more grateful and respectful we are to the power engineers who, under fire and sometimes at gunpoint, perform their professional duties, ensuring the efficiency and safety of generation facilities. Tomorrow, today's students of the Institute of IATE will join their senior colleagues in the operation and management of energy facilities. 

Nuclear power and the nuclear industry have always been the most important components of Ukraine's economic, energy and environmental security. Today, the key issue for the development of this industry is personnel training. Among the three Ukrainian universities that directly train specialists for the nuclear power industry, Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute is the most powerful and stable, which is why the employment rate of its graduates exceeds 60%.

Students of Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute visited the Khmelnytsky NPP branch of NAEK Energoatom JSC. For future engineers, visiting energy facilities, especially such as KhNPP, is not just an educational event, but also a mandatory stage in the formation of their professional outlook and, perhaps, the first acquaintance with their future place of work.

Ukrainians felt the tragedy of the Chornobyl disaster like no other. Therefore, nuclear safety for scientists and educators of Ukraine is perhaps the most important area of development of the latest technologies.

Fourth-year students of Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute had a month-long pre-diploma practice in the reactor shops, turbine shop, and nuclear safety department of the RNPP.

Does Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute have the resources to build a small modular reactor? Are there such generating capacities in Ukraine? Who can install local power plants? Can a household be independent of the central power grid? How much electricity can a SMR produce?

The informational and analytical TV Channel 12 made a feature of the pre-diploma internship at the Rivne NPP.

Kyiv Polytechnic University is one of the leading higher education institutions of Ukraine, where specialists for the nuclear power generation industry are trained.
