The Department of Nuclear Engineering provides three advanced degree options: the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), Master of Engineering (MEng), and a dual Public Policy (MPP)/Nuclear Engineering (MS) program. Nuclear Engineering explores the scientific principles of nuclear reactions and their practical applications in technological advancements. Professionals in this field create systems addressing critical challenges like medical radiation therapy, fusion reactor engineering, and nuclear waste management solutions.
This specialization focuses on low-energy nuclear phenomena and radiation-matter interactions relevant to nuclear chemistry, industrial applications, and technological innovations. The curriculum covers essential nuclear physics measurements for practical uses, cutting-edge detector development, and nuclear method applications across diverse research fields. Final projects frequently utilize specialized equipment including LBNL's 88 cyclotron and Etcheverry Hall's High Flux Neutron Generator.
