The specialized program is divided into three MOOCs:

Front-end of the nuclear fuel cycle, Back-end of the nuclear fuel cycle, and In-core fuel management.

The student will navigate the Integrated Nuclear Fuel Cycle Information System, of the International Atomic Energy Agency, to learn about the nuclear fuel cycle facilities around the world, uranium deposits, including their classification, technical information, detailed geological information on regions, districts, and deposits; and the thorium database, which includes details of thorium deposits and resources in the world. In addition, the student will develop skills to estimate the requirements for materials and services associated with the stages of the nuclear fuel cycle, to perform basic calculations for nuclear fuel and reactor core design, as well as to calculate the levelized nuclear fuel cycle cost.
