NUCL 5030 - Nuclear Principles in Engineering & Science

This course will provide the students with fundamental understanding of basic principles covering the modern theory of the atomic and nucleus structure, quantum description of nuclear phenomena of interest in nuclear engineering, radiation types and interactions with matter, radioactive decay. Each of the sections will address the application of learned principles thus connecting the concepts in physics, quantum mechanics, radiation transport, mathematics, computational science and engineering, chemistry, environmental engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, biology and bioengineering, nuclear medicine and health physics. The Graduate version of the course: different assignments such as higher level homework problems, quizzes and midterm questions, additional reading.
