interactions of radiation and matter. Radiation sources in the
natural environment. Fission and fusion. Technology and operation
of nuclear reactors, diffusion, heating and deceleration of
neutrons, time-varying reactor, reactor safety and environmental
protection. Power stations with new generation reactors.
Radioactivity measurement and shielding, units and conversion
factors, fundamental constants and data. Industrial applications of
nuclear radiation. Biological effects and protection.

Upon successful completion of the course the student will be able to:
