PHYS 44900 - Neutron Physics

Prerequisite(s): PHYS 34700 FOR LEVEL UG WITH MIN. GRADE OF C-

Credit Hours: 3.00. This course will consider basic concepts relating to nuclear reactor theory. A familiarity with basic quantum mechanics, mechanics, electromagnetics, and modern physics is assumed. The course will introduce the physical principles behind the modeling of nuclear reactor cores. Aspects of both diffusion and transport theory will be considered in modeling nuclear reactor core neutron distributions, performance, and power generation. Typically offered Fall Spring Summer.
