120 / FIELDS OF INSTRUCTION emphasis,in nuclear power engineering, health phys- ics, medical physics, and engineering physics. The medical physics and health physics options are of- fered through interdepartmental programs in cooper- ation with the Medical School and the Department of Environmental Engineering Sciences. Specific areas of emphasis include advanced nucle- ar power concepts, nuclear reactor power plant tech- nology and operations, reactor dynamics and control, environmental aspects of nuclear power generation, reactor physics, nuclear plasma and laser technology, thermonuclear fusion systems, nuclear radiation chemistry, high-temperature materials, nuclear detec- tion and instrumentation, bionucleonics, medical diagnostic imaging, medical radiation physics, radi- ation biology, and health physics. The requirement for admission to the graduate pro- gram in nuclear engineering sciences is a bachelor's degree in an approved program in engineering or in the sciences. If the student's background is con- sidered deficient for the planned course of study, an articulation program of background courses will be required. Depending on professional objectives, the student may omit the master's thesis and substitute eight credits of graduate-level course work, of which at least six credits are in nuclear engineering sciences, including a four-credit (minimum) special project (ENU 6936). In such cases the completion of 32 credits will meet the'minimum requirements for the non- thesis degree.
