This course introduces students to the scientific principles of nuclear fission chain reactions and lays a foundation for the application of these principles to the nuclear design and analysis of reactor cores. Topics covered include basic nuclear concepts, atomic fission, neutron propagation and interaction with matter, also using this energy in electrical power production.
Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Mechanical Engineering
