Computational Reactor Physics with Python

Education facts

Code: 1FA456

The course is for you who want to understand the basics of reactor physics and applied nuclear physics while at the same time improving your programming skills. In the course, you will, among other things, learn how to simulate reactor-physical processes and schematically design nuclear engineering systems. **Outline for distance course:** The course is taught through online lectures, video lectures, and supervision of assignments. Communication between teachers and students takes place via an e-learning platform and through e-meeting tools. Distance education requires that you have access to a computer with a stable internet connection and access to a webcam.

Entry requirements

120 credits in science/engineering, including 30 credits in physics and 5 credits programming. Nuclear Physics or Modern Physics is recommended. Proficiency in English equivalent to the Swedish upper secondary course English 6.
