    2. Instructor Hello! My name is Ben Rouben. I am the instructor for this course. I worked in reactor physics at AECL from 1975 to 2007. I was Manager of the Reactor Core Physics Branch, 1993-2005. Right now I am Reactor-Physics Consultant and Adjunct Professor at McMaster and at UOIT. The Teaching Assistant is Karol Kozlowski.

    3. E-mail Addresses To communicate with me, you may use either e-mail address below: roubenb@mcmaster.ca roubenb@alum.mit.edu Karols e-mail address is kozlok@mcmaster.ca

    4. Course Webpage The department webpage for 4D03 (http://engphys.mcmaster.ca/undergraduate/outlines/4d03/4d03.htm) gives the link to the details page for the course.

    5. Objectives of Course Objectives of course: To aid the student in understanding modern nuclear engineering; to develop skills for analysing neutron characteristics of fission reactors. Goals: to understand the physical processes to understand and be able to formulate the basic descriptive equations to solve those equations to simulate a reactor/source configuration with appropriate models depending on energy, position, steady state or transient situations, and material properties.

    6. Course Material Reference Material: 1) Primary reference text: Nuclear Reactor Analysis, by James J. Duderstadt & Louis J. Hamilton, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., ISBN: 0-471-22363-8 2) My notes issued as we proceed 3) Other reactor-physics textbooks, e.g. (among others), John R. Lamarsh & Anthony J. Baratta, Introduction to Nuclear Engineering, Prentice Hall, ISBN: 0-20182-498-1

    7. Schedule Lectures are on Wednesdays, 2:30-5:20 pm Room: MDCL 1010 First class will be on Wednesday Sept. 10 I am scheduling the mid-term examination for week 7, Oct. 22 (but it may change). Final examination date not yet known, will be available in the official exam schedule, when it is issued.

    8. Marks Overall marks for the course: Weekly Assignments: 20% Mid-term Examination: 30% Final Written Examination: 50% 6D03 students will have to do an extra assignment, worth 20%.

    9. Marks (contd) Note: Weekly Assignments must be handed in promptly on time, every week! To be handed in to Karol latest by Wednesday 2:00 pm week following, in drop box outside EP office. Week 1 is Wednesday Sept 10, so week-1 assignment is due Wednesday Sept 17 latest. Etc.

    10. Mid-Term & Final Mid-term: Nominally 2 hours Closed book, but some single-sided 8.5x11 crib sheets may be allowed (I will determine the number allowed before then). Final: 3 hours Closed book.
