NPRE 498 class schedule data for spring 2021
CRN	Type	Section	Time	Day	Location	Instructor	Section Details
63973	Online	ESG	1:00PM -1:50PM	MWF	n.a.	Ragheb, M	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/25/21-05/05/21 Credit: 4 hours Section Title: Energy Storage Section Info: Graduate 4 hr section. Comprehensive coverage of energy storage and conveyance methodologies for nuclear and renewable systems in the context of the Internet of Things (IOT) for power systems. The intermittence of renewable systems mandates the development of efficient energy storage and backups as well as conveyance systems for their effective implementation. Exhaustive coverage of energy storage technologies including: battery technologies encompassing primary and secondary electrochemical cells; lead acid, nickel-based, Li-ion batteries; advanced battery systems including redox/flow batteries, sulfur-sodium; hydrogen electrochemical cells and regenerative fuel cells including hydride storages, mechanical energy stoarge including flywheel, compressed-air and pumped hydraulic stoage; thermal and chemical storage based on phase-change and medium enthalpy-change reversible chemical reactions; and inductive storage in super capacitors and magnetic using superconducting magnets are covered. Social and economic aspects of storage technology and specific new development in storage technolgy are covered. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.

72904	Laboratory	NS	5:00PM -8:50PM	T	225 Talbot Laboratory	Di Fulvio, A	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/25/21-05/05/21 Section Title: Nucl Safeguards & Nonprolif Section Info: Requires registration in NPRE 498 Online Lecture section NSA. Lab component of Advanced Laboratory on Physics Technology and Policy of Nuclear Safeguards and Nonproliferation.
72903	Online Lecture	NSA	11:00AM -11:50AM	TR	n.a.	Di Fulvio, A	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/25/21-05/05/21 Credit: 2 hours Section Title: Nucl Safeguards & Nonprolif Section Info: Advanced Laboratory on Physics Technology and Policy of Nuclear Safeguards and Nonproliferation. Registration in the lecture requires registration in one of the Laboratory sections, either in-person NPRE 498 NS or on-line NPRE NSO. This laboratory course focuses on the science, technology and policy associated with nuclear safeguards, security and verification. Throughout the semester, the students will design and develop selected experimental systems which can be used to identify, characterize, image, and quantify special nuclear materials. The lab sessions implement a unique model where students need to fully develop selected experiments, from design to validation and testing. Students will become familiar with experimental techniques employed in contemporary research and industrial laboratories, and learn different software, CAD, and hardware tools, depending on the specific experiment. Guest lecturers from the International Atomic Energy Agency, Sandia National Lab and Argonne National Lab will introduce modern measurement techniques in international safeguards and interact with the students during the semester. Suggested prerequisite: NPRE 451 or consent of the instructor.
72905	Online Lab	NSO	ARRANGED	n.a.	n.a.
