Neutron Science and Reactor Physics: Course Description
Nuclear fission and reactions produced by neutrons are discussed in, 'Neutron Science and Reactor Physics,' a free OpenCourseWare presented by MIT. Taught by Professor John Bernard, the course concentrates on principles of nuclear physics used as a basis for reactor design and their contribution to problems in reactor engineering. Other topics include life cycle of neutrons, neutron flux, multiplying media and finite size reactors. The original class was a core requirement in multiple concentrations in the physics Bachelor of Science degree program at MIT.
This free OpenCourseWare includes course assignments, a class reading list, lecture notes and downloadable course materials. To view these varied class materials, visit the physics course page.
