This course will introduce a wide spectrum of nuclear-related fundamental physics and engineering which are considered basic and important intellectual knowledge to study about advanced nuclear engineering subjects such as energy production & heat transfer and also nuclear reactor safety and waste management. The contents include overall review of nuclear reactor and power plant, those of basic atomic and nuclear & radiation physics, fundamentals of nuclear reactor theory, reactor engineering, nuclear fuel cycles, nuclear safety, etc.
