Course Details
• Nuclear Reactor Physics: This unit will cover the fundamental principles of nuclear reactor physics, including neutron transport, nuclear cross sections, and reactor kinetics. Emphasis will be placed on the application of these principles to the design and analysis of nuclear reactors.
• Nuclear Fuel Cycle: This unit will cover the various stages of the nuclear fuel cycle, including mining and milling, fuel fabrication, reactor operation, and waste disposal. Students will learn about the environmental, economic, and safety considerations associated with each stage of the fuel cycle.
• Nuclear Radiation Detection and Measurement: This unit will cover the principles and techniques used for detecting and measuring nuclear radiation. Students will learn about the various types of radiation detectors, such as scintillators, semiconductors, and gas-filled detectors, and their applications in nuclear physics and engineering.
• Nuclear Safety and Security: This unit will cover the safety and security aspects of nuclear facilities and materials. Students will learn about the various safety and security risks associated with nuclear power plants, research reactors, and nuclear fuel cycle facilities, and the measures taken to mitigate these risks.
• Nuclear Data and Simulation: This unit will cover the use of nuclear data and simulation in nuclear physics and engineering. Students will learn about the various nuclear data libraries, such as ENDF and JEFF, and the simulation codes, such as MCNP and SERPENT, used to model nuclear systems and processes.
• Nuclear Materials: This unit will cover the properties and behavior of nuclear materials, such as uranium, plutonium, and zirconium alloys. Students will learn about the various methods used for characterizing and testing nuclear materials, and the effects of radiation damage on their properties.
• Nuclear Waste Management: This unit will cover the management of nuclear waste, from spent fuel to low-level waste. Students will learn about the various methods used for disposal, such as deep geological disposal, and the environmental, economic, and safety considerations associated with each method.
