Overall, this unit presents the basic scientific concepts spanning physics, chemistry and engineering in nuclear science which are fundamental for successful later study on the programme in which they will be utilised and synthesised together. This is a mandatory unit on the MSc Nuclear Science and Engineering programme. How does this unit fit into your programme? Finally, the modern day application of nuclear science to nuclear fission and fusion reactors is covered. The unit is enhanced with the inclusion of modern day research highlights with a focus on methods to detect radiation and utilise it in a deliberate manner to probe the structure of materials. Models to describe the structure and stability of nuclei are presented and used as tools for computing the energetics involved in radioactive decay processes. The essential elements of quantum mechanics needed to understand the physical mechanisms behind these experimental discoveries is presented alongside the accompanying classical arguments. The unit tells the story of the ground-breaking experimental discoveries in nuclear physics at the turn of the 20 th century. Units you may not take alongside this one Units you must take alongside this one (co-requisite units) Units you must take before you take this one (pre-requisite units) We may also make changes to the structure of programmes and assessments to improve the student experience. Please note: Programme and unit information may change as the relevant academic field develops.
