The course introduces the student to the physics and engineering of nuclear power reactor cores. Topics included are nuclear reactions, neutron chain reactions, criticality and reactor kinetics, ...

Such issues have led to a resurgence of interest in a third nuclear option ... with over 50 for a reactor that generates electricity from fusion alone. The reduced plasma physics requirements ...

Most nuclear power plants currently operational worldwide are second-generation reactors. The next step is to transition to the third generation, a nuclear power technology that is safer ...

A new record for plasma confinement time and temperature has been set at the EAST fusion research reactor. ITER should also benefit from this.
