Emphasizes NSE broadly applied to fission energy systems.
Courses/electives are suggested that provide multi-disciplinary depth in fission energy, including entry-level graduate courses in the senior year. Both analytical and experimental research projects are typically available for the SB Thesis requirement. UROPs among fission faculty, and at CANES and the Nuclear Reactor Lab are highly encouraged.
