Commercial nuclear power plants have operated in the US since the 1960's and currently generate about 20 of the net electric power. Yet they still incite extreme reaction from the public because of issues related to safety, nuclear waste and proliferation. This course provides an elementary description of fission physics and nuclear power generation with emphasis on the issues mentioned above. It also covers the two major approaches towards a fusion power reactor - magnetic and inertial confinement. NOTES: Details about the course can be found at http://www.pha.jhu.edu/~deepak/courses/2011/nuclear_energy/

Prereq: 171.312 or 171.703 Course covers phase transitions and critical phenomena. Building on the ideas of spontaneous symmetry breaking and scale invariance at a critical point we develop Landau’s theory of phase transitions and the apparatus of renormalization group using both analytic and numerical techniques for studying interacting systems
