Hello, hello! Wot's this, then?
This is a site for students and others interested in
Nuclear Engineering as it relates to the program in the
Department of Engineering Physics, McMaster University.
Enjoy.

Announcements
* Well, what do you know! This site was named to OEDb's
Top 100 Open Courseware Projects list, which is
available here -- http://oedb.org/library/features/top-100-open-courseware-projects.
And it is listed on 100 Excellent Ivy League Open
Courses for Engineers at toponlineengineeringdegree.com/?page_id=55
* Seminar: The CANDU Program and AECL by Ben Rouben,
AECL, Slides (pdf 2.9Mb), Recorded seminar (exe 55.6Mb)
on 2007.01.11 at McMaster University. Listen to Ben's
review of CANDU history, AECL's role, and current
opportunities. Focused on reactor physics. Well worth
the rather large download (sorry about that but it is
the best we candu).
* Seminar: Searching for a Sustainable Energy Future (pdf
51kb) by Dr. Patrick Moore (bio, pdf 84kb), co-founder
of Greenpeace, currently Chair and Chief Scientist of
Greenspirit Strategies. This is dynamite stuff. Burke
Science Building, room B135, 2:00 to 3:30, March 29,
2006 (Wednesday). If you are not familiar with the
campus, see here. You can listen to essentially the same
seminar here.
* UNENE news item in the McMaster Daily News (pdf
version 35kb)
* Seminar: Medical Radioisotope Production: Where Next?
(pdf 5.0Mb) by Dr. Eleodor Nichita of UOIT, CNS Toronto
Branch seminar, 2009-06-29.
