The science and engineering principles for nuclear engineering are studied, which are related to using the energy released from nuclear fission or fusion such as nuclear power generation, nuclear propulsion, nuclear radiation applications. Research topics include design principles and analyses for commercial light water reactors and next-generation nuclear reactors such as molten salt reactor, liquid-metal-cooled fast reactor and gas-cooled reactor for hydrogen generation, nuclear fusion reactor, fuel cycle and nuclear waste disposal, systems and components for nuclear reactors, reactor theory, nuclear thermo-hydraulics, nuclear fuel and cladding, nuclear structural materials, magnetohydrodynamics, and nuclear radiation applications.
