This course is designed as an intensive course providing an introduction to nuclear engineering for graduate students with a non-nuclear background. The course starts with an introduction to fundamental concepts of atomic and nuclear physics and the interaction of radiation with matter which are then used to develop static and dynamic reactor theory applied to basic reactor design problems.
