Description :
|
Elements of nuclear reactor theory for reactor core design and operation. Includes one-group neutron transport and multigroup diffusion models, analytical and numerical criticality search, and flux distribution and calculations for homogeneous and heterogeneous reactors, slowing down and thermalization models and transient isotopics. Laboratory observations and correlation of reactor measurements with theory.

| course : | NE 401 |
| course rating : | 4 - Awesome |
| course comments : | Material is very interesting and you'll definitely be using it. Introduction to the methods of neutron (any particle) transport analysis. |
| class : | Spring 2003 section 001 |
| grade received : | C+ |
| class rating : | 1 - Bad |
| class comments : | This class sucked, plain and simple. There were no homework solutions or exam solutions. Lots of work with little explanation of why it was wrong. My C+ was the highest grade in the class. |
| instructor : | Anistratov |
| instructor rating : | 1 - Bad |
| instructor comments : | He's brilliant, but he can't communicate to those who aren't on his level. Don't expect help on homework from him. He's available to talk to, but it rarely seems to help. Grading policy is no-curve. |

| course rating : | 1 - Bad |
| course comments : | I don't like nuclear physics, so I didn't like the material. Just more abstract formulas that I'll never use by hand. |
| class : | Spring 2005 section 001 |
| grade received : | C |
| class rating : | 2 - Average |
| class comments : | He writes a million MPH, asks questions to let you catch up, and gives out homeworks due the next class. Doesn't care if you show up late. Curves all assignments at the time of grading. Doesn't throw any curve balls on exams, they usually come from the homeworks. |
| instructor : | Anistratov |
| instructor rating : | 2 - Average |
| instructor comments : | I didn't learn much of anything from him, but he's the most helpful guy and is very polite and respectful to his students. |

| course : | NE 401L |
| course rating : | 1 - Bad |
| course comments : | NE401 labs were worthless, in my opinion. You get a little bit of insight, and it's cool to be in the reactor room, but otherwise they're just the precursor to lab reports. |
| class : | Spring 2005 section 201 |
| grade received : | N/A |
| class rating : | 1 - Bad |
| class comments : | Basically go into the reactor room, sit there for a few hours while the operator makes adjustments and calls out the data for you to record. Very little interaction. Lab reports are long and tedious. |
