Mission

The mission of the Reactor Engineering Department is to contribute to the further advancement of sciences and arts of nuclear engineering and in particular nuclear safety, and through these to the expansion of low carbon and renewable power sources in Slovenia and worldwide.

The Reactor Engineering Division contributes to the creation and development of new knowledge, transfers the new knowledge to young talents and, through applied research, consulting and educated people, to the industrial and regulatory practice in Slovenia and beyond. We regularly advise the Slovenian Nuclear Safety Administration as an appointed Technical Safety Organization.

The long term goals of the department are:

  • Excellent and nationally relevant research, development and education with globally comparable results.
  • Further development of excellent international connections, which contribute to the basic and applied research and higher education.
  • Contribute to the education of people, who will put the acquired knowledge into operation in research and/or the most responsible industrial or regulatory positions.
  • Contribute to the further advancement of the high level of nuclear safety and to the further development of nuclear engineering and other technologies, especially in Slovenia.
  • To participate to the creation of new knowledge and strategic planning to secure the supply of power from low carbon and renewable sources and to the safety and security of critical infrastructures.
