In this course, the learning outcomes can mainly be divided into the following three parts:

1. Interaction Mechanisms of Neutron with Matter:

First, this course delves into the basic structure of atoms and nuclei, as well as their properties and behavior. A solid foundation for nuclear reaction concepts can thus be established. Furthermore, in other courses, many of what is learned pertains to the interaction of photons and heavy ions with matter, which is much simpler compared to neutron interactions. Through this course, one can come to understand the various complex interactions between neutrons and matter, which are also influenced by factors such as temperature and incident energy. One can also gain an understanding of why nuclear fission can serve as the basis for power generation.

2. Neutron Diffusion Theory and Its Applications in Various Reactor Shapes:

One can understand that neutron diffusion theory is derived from neutron transport theory with several assumptions, allowing one to quickly obtain results close to reality. One can also learn that the results derived from neutron diffusion theory for nuclear reactors of different shapes will vary, which is an important consideration in nuclear reactor design.

3. Principles of Reactor Operation:

Based on the knowledge mentioned above, one can understand how nuclear energy can contribute to human welfare. Through this course, one can also learn that a large amount of heat energy is generated during nuclear fission. This heat energy can be converted into the electricity needed for daily life by driving turbines with water. Compared to other sources, electricity generated through nuclear fission not only holds lower costs but also holds considerable stability.
