two effects really compensate each other? Additionally, are we successfully accounting forthe path-length generated within the region due to particles born from a volumetric source? We now challenge the students with this problem: Imagine an arbitrary 3-D body Γ, and select a direction Ω ˆ and differential solid 2 ˆ angle d Ω around it. The flux ψ(r, Ω) is known, as is the volumetric source Q(r, Ω) ˆ throughout Γ (including external sources and inscatter sources). Select a differential tube through this body with cross sectional area dA (See Fig. 2) and compute the path-length generated within this tube during a time interval T by particles traveling

where thestudents are required to take 13 hours of nuclear and radiation engineering courses with theMechanical Engineering Department. There is an excellent opportunity for recruiting thesestudents as well. Below is a detailed description of the above mentioned courses. 1. Introduction to Nuclear Power Systems This course is an introduction to the concepts of nuclear engineering and is the firstcourse to be taken in the sequence. The course starts with an introduction to nuclear structure andnuclear decay. The structure of the atom is discussed along with binding energy, radioactivedecay and the calculation of Q values. Basic nuclear reaction calculations are covered nextincluding reaction rates and calculations of the neutron

337C, Introduction to Nuclear Power Systems, is an undergraduate technical elective offeredat The University of Texas at Austin (UT) every Fall semester. It is based on the Introduction toNuclear Engineering textbook by J. Lamarsh.1 The course starts out with an introduction tonuclear reactions, and includes such topics as Q values, number densities, cross-sections, andreaction rates. The course then covers the creation of power by nuclear reactions and thenfocuses on solving the diffusion equation with different geometries and boundary conditions.ME 337C is a pre-requisite for the Reactor Theory I course.As with all of the Nuclear and Radiation Engineering Program courses, ME 337C is digitallybroadcast and recorded for viewing by distance
