Nuclear Engineering Research Groups (NERG)

The Nuclear Engineering Program has been established to support the UAE's nuclear energy program, which will deliver four APR 1400 PWR reactors for the country's future energy needs.  Besides the nuclear engineering academic programs, the Department has four active research clusters covering the broad areas of Nuclear Instrumentation and Control (NICL), Nuclear Materials Science (NMSG), Reactor Design and Analysis (RDAG) and Nuclear Environmental and Waste Management (NEWMG).  These research groups and their associated research areas have been formulated in consultation with our key stakeholders, Emirates Nuclear Energy Corporation (ENEC) and the Federal Authority for Nuclear Regulation (FANR).  The links below outline the activities of each group, list their current resources and identify the Principal Investigators (PIs) and associated research faculty and staff.  The annual research report of the Department is available on request through the Nuclear Engineering Program Chair
