Research directions, grants, projects

Teaching in the multidisciplinary doctoral program Safety and Security of Nuclear Facilities and Forensic Analysis of Nuclear Materials is closely linked to the four main research directions provided by four departments provided jointly by four departments of two CTU faculties. These are the following research directions:

• safety and security of nuclear facilities (Department of Nuclear Reactors),
• safety and security of ionizing radiation sources (Department of Dosimetry and Applications of Ionizing Radiation),
• forensic analysis of nuclear and dual-use materials (Department of Nuclear Chemistry),
• cybersecurity of nuclear facilities (Department of Information Security).
