The field of radiation transport and fission systems engineering covers the extensive scientific disciplines related to utilizing fission for energy generation and investigating radiation interactions and their movement through materials. This includes nuclear reactor principles like neutron transport, thermal hydraulics, fuel cycle evaluation, reactor dynamics, diagnostics, control systems, and optimization. A major focus lies on computational modeling of these phenomena and applying these simulations in intersecting domains such as radiation shielding, oncology radiation treatment, radiation-fluid dynamics, particle behavior theory, and computational physics in general.
