Penn State’s MS in Nuclear Engineering focuses on the safe and efficient application of nuclear technologies in energy, medicine, and space. Students gain deep knowledge in fission and fusion systems, radiation shielding, reactor design, and nuclear fuel cycles. With access to a university research reactor, students participate in simulation-based and experimental research projects with strong real-world relevance.
Modeling neutron transport in heterogeneous reactor cores
Designing radiation shielding for interplanetary spacecraft
Simulating LOCA (Loss of Coolant Accident) conditions in reactors
Developing control strategies for small modular reactors (SMRs)
Building a Monte Carlo model for neutron interactions
Optimizing heat exchangers in molten salt reactor systems
Designing a gamma-ray spectrometer for medical isotope analysis
Evaluating fuel cladding behavior under high-burnup conditions
Creating a VR training tool for nuclear reactor operators
Studying decay heat removal in dry cask storage
Designing passive safety systems for next-gen reactors
Modeling coolant flow instabilities in PWRs
Researching plasma-wall interactions in fusion experiments
Analyzing economics of thorium-based nuclear cycles
Creating a digital twin for reactor performance monitoring
Design safer, smarter, and more efficient nuclear systems for power, medicine, and exploration.
