Major Introduction
Accelerator and Nuclear Fusion Physical Engineering
The major provides research opportunities and cutting-edge knowledge necessary for developing advanced accelerators, ultra-high-power lasers, and their applied technologies, as well as developing nuclear fusion devices.
Radiation Science and Technology
The major provides courses in radiation technology with the goal of developing new radiation fusion biotechnology. These courses include basic research that analyzes radiation responses of living organisms and applied research that aims to develop new materials for the bio-industrial industry by systematizing radiation bioreactions.
Radiochemistry and Nuclear Nonproliferation
The major provides education on the fundamental principles of radiochemistry, including the physical properties and chemical behavior of radioactive materials. The program also covers the knowledge and practical applications of radiochemistry in various fields, such as spent nuclear fuel, decontamination, and radioactive waste disposal.
Advanced Nuclear System Engineering
The major aims to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date education in advanced field technology to develop the skills and capabilities required for developing future-oriented nuclear power systems with improved safety and economics, as well as for existing nuclear power systems.
Quantum Energy Chemical Engineering
The major offers training courses on material deterioration management technology to improve the safety and economic feasibility of nuclear power, as well as nuclear fuel cycle technology, such as dry treatment of spent nuclear fuel and radioactive waste treatment.
Artificial Intelligence
The major aims to advance technology and efficiency powered by AI across nuclear and industrial domains. It includes anomaly detection for improving safety and performance in complex systems, machine vision for analyzing and interpreting visual data, and natural language processing for understanding and managing large volumes of textual information. Additionally, integrating AI with digital twins enhances simulations and optimizes design processes, demonstrating AI's broad applicability and impact in modern technological advancements.

RCA Scholarship Admission
RCA from 1972 &
RCARO from 2002
International agreement for the East Asia & Pacific region, under the auspices of the IAEA, in which the Government Parties undertake, in cooperation with each other and with the IAEA to promote and coordinate cooperative R&D and training projects in nuclear science and technology through their appropriate national institutions.
RCA Regional Office (RCARO) was established in Daejeon, Republic of Korea, in 2002 to contribute to increasing RCA Visibility through specific roles and responsibilities
The scholarship Agreement among RCA, KAERI, & KIRAM in 2023
Around 10 students from the RCA member states (21 countries) may apply for the scholarship program beginning in the first semester of 2024.
RCA is prepared to provide exceptional financial assistance during the admissions process.
