ENV 1060 - FYS: Nuclear Power & Society
Credit(s): 3
This introductory, interdisciplinary course examines several aspects of nuclear power. Students will be introduced to the basic science behind nuclear power (unstable isotopes, mining, nuclear power plants and waste disposal), the environmental and biological effects of the use of nuclear power, our economics and politics of nuclear power and the use of nuclear weapons throughout the world. Guest speakers will be invited to make presentations; field trips will allow students to engage activities, business and legislators in discussions related to nuclear power; and some of the class time will be devoted to the use for computer technology to develop presentations (e.g., Adobe Illustrator and Microsoft PowerPoint, Excel and Word).
