About the Course

This course provides a strong foundation in the physical principles governing nuclear reactors while developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Students learn to analyze reactor physics scenarios and apply theoretical concepts to practical applications. Topics include neutron-induced reactions, fission chain reactions, neutron behaviour and power production, diffusion theory (static and time-dependent), and key aspects of CANDU reactor design.

In this course you will be learning from Dr. Benjamin Rouben, a seasoned nuclear expert and Adjunct Professor at McMaster University.
