Prerequisite: placement into ENGL 1110 or ENGL 1111, placement into MATH 1650, admission to the Nuclear Engineering Technology Program; or permission of program director.
This course introduces fundamental concepts used throughout the nuclear industry as an integral part of daily operations. Topics include Human Performance Enhancement (HPE) fundamentals, an introduction to the Systematic Approach to Training (SAT), conduct of On-The-Job training (OJT) and Task Performance Evaluation (TPE), Foreign Material Exclusion (FME), radiological concepts, including protective clothing dress-out, and an overview of the Energy Harbor safety manual. In addition, it includes OSHA compliance courses required by the Perry Plant and an overview of the regulatory and licensing aspects of a commercial nuclear power plant. The course also provides an introduction to nuclear power plant systems. (3 contact hours) [Catalog Entry]
Prerequisite: placement into ENGL 1110 or ENGL 1111, placement into MATH 1650, admission to the Nuclear Engineering Technology Program; or permission of program director.
This course presents the theory, application detection and shielding of the various types of radiation. It also covers detection devices such as typical survey meters, core power detectors and personnel monitoring devices. The course will also discuss how exposure to radiation can be minimized and the biological impact of radiation.

Prerequisite: NUET 2000 (can be taken concurrently), PHYS 1610 (can be taken concurrently), MATH 1650.
This course provides an understanding of the principles of reactor theory, including the fission process; the neutron life cycle; the concepts of subcritical multiplication, criticality, and reactivity; thermal limits and their importance to operation; the functions and construction of fission product barriers; the practical application of the concepts of defense in depth and redundancy; and the roles of the various employees in reactor safety. In addition, the course discusses reactor protection concepts, Design Basis Accident (DBA), transient preventions and mitigation of core damage, radiochemistry and analysis, and hydrogen gas in reactor water following a transient or accident.
