MIE1129H: Nuclear Engineering I: Reactor Physics and the Nuclear Fuel Cycle

A first course in nuclear reactor theory, which 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, neutron thermalization, diffusion model of a nuclear reactor, criticality, nuclear reactor kinetics, and reactivity effects.
