Program Description: The Nuclear Engineering Technology (NET) Program is an innovative approach to addressing the nuclear industry's increasing need for a well-trained nuclear workforce. The program is a planned sequence of courses that meets the defined educational requirements identified by the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations (INPO) in ACAD 08-006 April 2011, “Uniform Curriculum Guide for Power Plant Technician, Maintenance, and Non-licensed Operations Personnel Associate Degree Programs”.
