Have you ever wondered what the sun and the atomic bomb have in common? Do you know how nuclear energy can power 20% of American homes? Find out how an object as tiny as the nucleus can create more energy than any other known energy source! This course will focus on basic nuclear physics, covering fission and fusion reactions.

Nuclear fusion is often called the energy source of the future, but it always seems to be just 30 years down the road. Fusion energy from the sun is responsible for sustaining life on Earth. Without fusion, you wouldn't even be here today. However, we can't harness the power of the sun. Instead, we need to figure out how to make our own fusion power- and in a way, make our own sun. In this course, we will be discussing current fusion basics and what fusion could look like 30 years from now.

Reactor Physics is the cornerstone of nuclear engineering. In this course you will learn how engineers track neutrons through the reactor core. You will lean about interaction rates, neutron multiplication, and critical geometries. After you are done, you will know how to create your own small nuclear reactors (on paper anyway)!
