Description

Since 2012, Harbin Engineering University (HEU) and Texas A&M University (TAMU) hold an annual Summer School on Nuclear Engineering. By now, the activity has been held 4 times. Each year, 15-20 students are selected from their respective institutions and paired with a counterpart to form partners. They study lectures in the first week at HEU and tour 3 Nuclear Power Plants (NPP) in the second week, visit the NPP simulators, and learn the nuclear safety culture. This activity expands the scale of international nuclear educational exchange, provide a platform for the students from different countries to communicate and exchange insights into their respective culture.
