Courses included
The Graduate Certificate of Nuclear Technology Regulation is designed to help individual professionals and their organisations understand, develop and apply contemporary Australian and international approaches to the effective regulation of nuclear technology. Application of nuclear technology is integral for a wide range of industries, medical facilities and scientific organisations, but presents risks of environmental, security, safety and non-proliferation that are governed by national as well as international regimes, administered in the Australian case by the Australian Safeguards and Non-Proliferation Office, and the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency.
This multi-disciplinary graduate certificate supports professionals with and without a technical background who work with regulatory stakeholders, including business and industry, territory, state and federal government agencies, the legislature, community actors and the media. It combines foundational knowledge in nuclear physics with courses on approaches to regulation and nuclear security law, and provides opportunity to focus on nuclear technology, systems engineering, science policy or communication as part of the program.
