| Description: | "NRE analyzes the release, control and safe utilization of nuclear energy and atomic and nuclear radiation for human benefit. The Department of Nuclear & Radiological Engineering was established in 1957 to contribute to research and education for peaceful uses of atoms. Since then, NRE has become a mature engineering discipline with various applications including power generation, medical diagnosis and therapy, industrial and medical imaging, nondestructive imaging and detection, food irradiation, isotope production and military. Students are involved in development and use of advanced particle transport methods, multigroup cross-section generation techniques, reactor physics and perturbation methods, thermal hydraulics, nondestructive testing techniques and tools, advanced fuel design, robotics, radiation shielding and protection, simulation methodologies for real-life nuclear systems including reactors, medical devices, and radiation facilities. The faculty have been successful in attracting major research funding from many government organizations including the Department Of Energy (DOE), the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and from all aspects of the nuclear industry such as power generation, radiation detection and measurement, radiation treatment and imaging for medical and industrial applications." |
