Nuclear Engineering

The discipline of nuclear engineering is concerned with the development of nuclear processes for energy production and with the applications of radiation for the benefit of society. Representative topics of investigation include analytical, computational and experimental research in the neutronics, materials, thermal-hydraulics and control aspects of fission reactors; radiation detection and measurement of basic physics parameters; nuclear safety and security; applications of radioisotopes and radiation in industry, medicine and science; and plasma science, plasma engineering and design aspects of fusion reactors.
