For further information see http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/web/terms/terms/index.htm This course integrates studies of engineering sciences, reactor physics and safety assessment into nuclear power plant design. Topics include materials issues in plant design and operations, aspects of thermal design, fuel depletion and fission-product poisoning, and temperature effects on reactivity, safety considerations in regulations and operations, such as the evolution of the regulatory process, the concept of defense in depth, General Design Criteria, accident analysis, probabilistic risk assessment, and risk-informed regulations. http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Nuclear-Engineering/22-39Fall-2006/CourseHome/index.htm Todreas, Neil Ballinger, Ronald Kadak, Andrew Apostolakis, George Kadak, Andrew Ballinger, Ronald Apostolakis, George 2007-09-10T04:53:47-04:00 22.39 en-US Nuclear Science and Engineering Nuclear/Nuclear Power Technology/Technician IRIS materials slection economics of nuclear power plutonium half-life uranium fission cooling Seabrook nuclear plant radiation radioactivity accident nuclear waste nuclear fuel hydraulic thermal risk assessment probabalistic risk assessment PRA nuclear risk meltdown nuclear safety light water reactor LWR GFR pressurized water reactor PWR NRC nuclear power nuclear reactor MIT Open Course Ware http://ocw.mit.edu Content within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.

For further information see http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/web/terms/terms/index.htm This course has been designed as a seminar to give students an understanding of how scientists with medical or scientific degrees conduct research in both hospital and academic settings. There will be interactive discussions with research clinicians and scientists about the career opportunities and research challenges in the biomedical field, which an MIT student might prepare for by obtaining an MD, PhD, or combined degrees. The seminar will be held in a case presentation format, with topics chosen from the radiological sciences, including current research in magnetic resonance imaging, positron emission tomography and other nuclear imaging techniques, and advances in radiation therapy. With the lectures as background, we will also examine alternative and related options such as biomedical engineering, medical physics, and medical engineering. We'll use as examples and points of comparisons the curriculum paths available through MIT's Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering. In past years we have given very modest assignments such as readings in advance of or after a seminar, and a short term project. http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Nuclear-Engineering/22-A09Fall-2006/CourseHome/index.htm Yip, Sidney He, Xin Rosen, Bruce 2007-11-05T11:21:10-05:00 22.A09 en-US Nuclear Science and Engineering Biostatistics neuroscience radiology MRI medicine doctor hospital scientist research radiation science biologist medical imaging imaging hospital biotech career planning career freshman seminar MIT Open Course Ware http://ocw.mit.edu Content within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.
