About the ENNU Graduate Program :

Nuclear and radiation engineering is the branch of engineering that encompasses the use of the energy from nuclear sources and systems. The field of nuclear and radiation engineering combines fundamental science with the most advanced technologies today.

Applications include nuclear generated electricity, materials processing, medical procedures, environmental restoration and remediation, and medical and consumer product sterilization.

Radiation engineering is used in manufacturing processes to modify existing materials and to develop new ones. Radiation hardened electronics are used in satellites. Radioisotopes are produced and used for materials processing, chemical processing, and wastewater treatment.

Courses and research work emphasize three areas of concentration:

• Nuclear Systems
• Radiation Engineering
• Safety and Reliability

A student works with his or her advisor to establish an individual plan of graduate study compatible with background and goals. Areas of specialization include: nuclear safety analysis, radiation processing and manufacturing, radiation sciences, risk assessment, reliability analysis, thermal hydraulics, and computational fluid dynamics.
