UIUC’s NPRE MS equips engineers to model next-gen small-modular reactors, design plasma thrusters for deep-space travel, and optimize medical-isotope production. Students couple Monte-Carlo neutron transport with AI surrogate models, diagnose ITER plasmas via Thomson scattering, and assess radiological risk in environmental remediation projects. Thesis and professional options open doors to DOE labs, fusion start-ups, and regulatory agencies.
