Id: 004047 Credits Min: 3 Credits Max: 3

Description

This course provides an introductory overview of nuclear physics and related theory and the various systems associated with the operation of the UMASS Lowell Nuclear Research Reactor (UMLRR). The course is intended for students who want to learn about the operations of the UMLRR and who are interested in a career in nuclear engineering and science. The course provides a multidisciplinary systems approach to education and training, which emphasizes "learning by doing". In a practical setting, students study and learn basic nuclear theory and design aspects of real-world systems associated with nuclear reactor operations. Knowledge is gained by working closely with experienced reactor operators and staff, and through independent study.
