Hello, hello! Wot's this, then?
This is a site for students and others interested in Nuclear Engineering, built when I was Professor in the
Department of Engineering Physics, McMaster University. I am retired now but still maintain the site. Suggestions and comments are
welcome. Enjoy. My short bio (pdf 9kb).
- Help - Have a quick look to get oriented and to find
helpful tips on using this site, including how to contact
me. Suggestions and comments are welcome. But before you do, check out
the site FAQ page. Perhaps your question has already
been answered.
- FAQ - Frequently asked questions for this site.
- Downloads (Computer Codes) Related to the Nuclear Industry.
- Canadian Nuclear Society Universities Committee
- a committee devoted to assist in the coordination the activities of Canadian
universities with nuclear programs, including the CNS Student conferences.
