From the core of a reactor to global nonproliferation agreements, nuclear knowledge drives real-world decision-making.
Security & Defence PLuS has added two nuclear-focused online, self-paced short courses to our growing portfolio of educational offerings. Developed and delivered by Arizona State University (ASU), a global leader in online education and ranked #1 in the United States for innovation, these courses are designed for professionals, students, and policymakers looking to expand their understanding of nuclear science and its global implications.
The two new courses are:
Introduction to Radioactivity, Radiation, Fission, and Nuclear Materials
Explore the science behind radioactivity, fission, and nuclear materials while building essential knowledge for careers in nuclear energy, research, and radiation safety. Through five self-paced modules, learners gain practical skills and theoretical insight into nuclear processes, reactor operations, and radiation protection. (Learn More & Enrol)
Foundations of Naval Propulsion Reactors, Nuclear Weapons and Nonproliferation
Gain a deeper understanding of how nuclear technology powers naval fleets, shapes global security, and challenges nonproliferation efforts. This course covers naval reactor systems, nuclear weapon impacts, and international regulatory frameworks, offering both technical and geopolitical perspectives for those interested in defence, energy policy, or nuclear science.
