Syllabus
Course overview and goals
The class provides the latest and wide knowledge in the fundamentals of nuclear chemistry, radiation chemistry, nuclear physics, radiation physics and its interactions in materials, radiation biology, and nuclear energy systems. This is a network class by Tokyo Tech, Fukui Univ., Ibaraki Univ., Okayama Univ., Kanazawa Univ., Osaka Univ., Nagoya Univ. and JAEA provided using an interactive telecommunication system.
Course description and aims
Explain the fundamentals of nuclear engineering in the various fields.
Keywords
nuclear chemistry, radiation chemistry, radioactivity, atomic nucleus, nuclear reaction, nuclear power
Competencies
- Specialist skills
- Intercultural skills
- Communication skills
- Critical thinking skills
- Practical and/or problem-solving skills
Class flow
The class is provided by the lectures who are the expert in the fields. Since this lecture will be held jointly with other universities, the number of lectures will be 15 (90 minutes). Also, since it became difficult under Corona to have a simultaneous lecture of all participating universities, the lectures recorded in advance will be distributed on Zoom. At that time, TA will stop the lecture several times to accept questions, and will also accept questions at any time through chat etc. and inform the answer after the lecture.
