PHY-271 Nuclear Physics

The student will be able to demonstrate knowledge of classical physics including mechanics, electrostatics and electromagnetic radiation; atomic physics; nuclear physics (nuclear structure, radioactivity and interaction of radiation with matter); reactor core physics (fission, neutron flux, neutron moderation and diffusion, reactor design analysis, and reactivity and reactivity coefficients); and reactor operations (subcritical operations, startup and shutdown, reactor period and operating characteristics).
