EENE

2 courses with the subject EENE, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.

EENE 410Introduction to Nuclear Reactor Engineering3

This course covers basic nuclear reactor physics and Engineering including nuclear structure, radioactivity, ionization, nuclear reactions, radioactive decay, mass defect, binding energy and the fission process including conservation of energy. It also covers reactivity effects, reactor dynamics, neutron characteristics, neutron life cycle, delayed neutrons, macroscopic cross section, mean free path, thermal reactor power, diffusion lengths, and effective multiplication factor including thermal utilization factor related to criticality in reactors.
