Course Description • This course will provide an overview of nuclear science and
technology and its application to the production of electricity.
• The course will explain how a nuclear reactor works and will
describe the various types of nuclear reactor technologies
currently available or under development.
• The course will also cover the entire nuclear fuel cycle
including uranium mining, enrichment and fuel fabrication, as
well as reprocessing and used nuclear fuel management and
disposal.
• In addition, the course will explore the complex socio-political
issues that are often intertwined in any discussion about a
sustainable long-term environmental and energy policy that
includes nuclear power.

Atomic Hypothesis
If, in some cataclysm, all of scientific knowledge were to
be destroyed, and only one sentence passed on to the
next generations of creatures, what statement would
contain the most information in the fewest words? I
believe it is the atomic hypothesis … that all things are
made of atoms—little particles that move around in
perpetual motion, attracting each other when they are a
little distance apart, but repelling upon being squeezed
into one another.
-- Richard P. Feynman

Forces of Nature
• Gravity
• Electromagnetic – ~1039 stronger than gravity
(between proton and electron)
• Weak nuclear – responsible for radioactive
decay
• Strong nuclear – binds the nucleus, ~1038
stronger than gravity (between two nucleons)
• Scaled to our size, you and the person next to you
would feel an attraction of 2.5x1032 N (about a
billion-trillion-trillion tons of force)

Radioactive Decay
• All radioactive decay processes result in a
nucleus with less mass-energy, and a
more stable configuration, than the
original, unstable nucleus.

Radioactive Decay
• All radioactive decay processes result in a
nucleus with less mass-energy, and a
more stable configuration, than the
original, unstable nucleus.
• Several modes of transition are available,
and the nucleus will decay via one or more
of these modes, depending on which ones
are energetically “preferable” to move
towards stability.
