At the end of this course, students will be able to describe the fission process path and the nuclear physics making fission possible. Students will be able to explain how the fission yield distribution results from the process of nuclear fission and explain the energy transfer process during the nuclear fission. Students will be able to find information on fission cross section, fission product yield, fission neutron yield, etc. from public data bases. They will be able to name the main facilities and instrumentation used in contemporary fission-based research and explain their operation principles. Students will also be able to perform a criticality calculation of a simple nuclear reactor.
