NPRE 498 class schedule data for fall 2018
CRN	Type	Section	Time	Day	Location	Instructor	Section Details
70848	Lecture	NS	10:00AM -11:50AM	MW	100H Talbot Laboratory	Song, C	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/27/18-12/12/18 Credit: 3 hours Section Title: Nuclear Reactor Safety Section Info: The course consists of three main parts: The first part will be focused on the fundamentals of securing the nuclear reactor safety and how to prevent the accidents with engineered safety features practically applied to the design and operation of nuclear reactors. The second part will be mainly on how to mitigate nuclear accidents and how to evaluate them through advanced safety analysis. The major thermal-hydraulic phenomena together with underlying theory will also be discussed for both design basis accidents (DBA) and beyond DBA, including severe accidents. And the third part will cover some topical issues which are very relevant to nuclear reactor safety, and they include not only some of generic safety issues but also newly emerging issues. The emphasis will be made mainly on the safety of existing and advanced light water reactors. But the radiation safety and the radiological application safety will not be covered in this course. Prerequisite: NPRE 402; or concurrent registration in NPRE 448 recommended. Restriction(s): Restricted to Undergrad - Urbana-Champaign.
60327	Lecture-Discussion	NSF	3:30PM -5:20PM	R	100H Talbot Laboratory	Kaminski, M	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/27/18-12/12/18 Credit: 2 hours Section Title: Nucl Separ & Fuel Reprocessing Section Info: Radionuclide separations are the basis for recycling of nuclear fuel. This class will cover the chemistry and engineering of nuclear separations as used in reprocessing. Students will learn the basics of f-element and fission product chemistry; mathematical algoritms of reprocessing schemes; past, current, and developing reprocessing schemes; and the unit operations of reprocessing. Lessons learned from reprocessing accidents will be covered. The student will be expected to have completed basic collegiate chemistry, i.e. General Chemistry. After completing this class, the student will understand the chemical and engineering bases behind reprocessing schemes past and present.
66514	Lecture	NSR	3:30PM -5:20PM	R	100H Talbot Laboratory	Kaminski, M	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/27/18-12/12/18 Credit: 3 hours Section Title: Nucl Separ & Fuel Reprocessing Section Info: Radionuclide separations are the basis for recycling of nuclear fuel.

After completing this class, the student will understand the chemical and engineering bases behind reprocessing schemes past and present. NPRE undergraduates in the power concentration may use credit in this course towards their technical electives. Extra project section. Students will conduct individual research projects for 1 hour credit. See instructor for details.
65018	Lecture	R	2:00PM -2:50PM	M	100H Talbot Laboratory	Holm, R	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/27/18-12/12/18 Credit: 2 hours Section Title: Nuclear Reactor Laboratory Section Info: Laboratory experiments relating to nuclear reactor physics and fission reactor operations, including: reactor instrumentation, flux and power measurements, start-up procedures, reactivity worth measurements, reactor period, control rod calibration experiments, and measurements in subcritical, critical and supercritical systems. This will be a reactor lab class based on webcast experiments/labs conducted at the Missouri University of Science and Technology research reactor. Prerequisites: NPRE 247.
65020	Laboratory	R2	ARRANGED	R	ARR Talbot Laboratory	Holm, R	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/27/18-12/12/18 Section Title: Nuclear Reactor Laboratory Section Info: Lab component of NPRE 498 Section R Nuclear Reactor Laboratory. Enrollment requires registration in the Lecture section R. Prerequisites: NPRE 247.
