Nuclear Engineering is concerned with the understanding of nuclear processes and their application in the energy, environmental, manufacturing, materials processing, and medical industries.

• Applied Nuclear Physics
• Bionuclear and Radiological Physics
• Energy Systems and the Environment
• Ethics and the Impact of Technology on Society
• Fission Reactor Analysis
• Fuel Cycles and Radioactive Waste
• Fusion Science and Technology
• Laser, Particle Beam, and Plasma Technologies
• Nuclear Materials and Chemistry
• Nuclear Thermal Hydraulics
• Risk, Safety and Large-Scale Systems Analysis

You will study analysis, design, and development of fission and fusion power reactors; the nuclear fuel cycle, including radioactive waste management and disposal; and applications of nuclear science in instrumentation, radiation detection and protection, medical diagnosis and treatment, and materials behavior. Safety and environmental impacts are considered from a risk and systems viewpoint.
