NUCLEAR REACTOR ENGINEERING

NE 234

Presents the theoretical and practical information required to understand operation of nuclear reactors. Content includes all subjects which must be known by a person seeking an operating license for the university reactor. Instructors integrate information on similar operations and systems in a nuclear power plant.

NE 602

Special Topics in Reactor Engineering.

NE 550

Analysis of nuclear systems for the production of useful power. Emphasis: thermodynamic cycles, reactor types, coupling of reactor and power plant, design synthesis, and plant economics.

NE 412

Reactor design projects, reactor hazards, economics.

NE 405

The neutronics behavior of fission reactors, primarily from a theoretical, one-speed perspective. Criticality, fission product poisoning, reactivity control, reactor stability and introductory concepts in fuel management, followed by slowing down and one-speed diffusion theory.
