CORYS’ C EPR simulator, available in the Cloud, will be used as a teaching tool to meet the growing need for skills in the French nuclear industry.
As part of the France 2030 Call for Expressions of Interest (AMI) dedicated to Skills and Professions of the Future, CORYS is participating in the N2G2V project – New Generations of Nuclear Graduates in Grenoble and Valence.
Chaired by the Université des Métiers du Nucléaire (UMN), this consortium brings together the major players in the French nuclear industry alongside Grenoble INP-UGA and the Université Grenoble Alpes. The project aims to increase the number of graduates with five years of higher education in nuclear engineering by more than 50%, from 130 to 218 graduates per year by 2028, in order to meet the need for highly qualified skills in neutron physics, thermo-hydraulics, materials, control systems, nuclear safety and decommissioning.
CORYS is contributing to the project by deploying its C EPR simulator in the Cloud, enabling students to train independently on the basic principles of a pressurised water reactor.
This development represents a real revolution in teaching:
- Unlimited access: students can practise remotely, at their own pace
- Practical training: use of a professional simulator used by the industry
- Dedicated educational scenarios: CORYS will develop specific scenarios designed for independent learning, tailored to the training objectives
This cloud solution multiplies the educational resources available by offering each student individual access to a simulation environment that faithfully represents the behaviour of a reactor.
This work received government funding managed by the French National Research Agency under France 2030, reference ANR-25-CMAS-0008.
