Abstract

The teaching and study of nuclear reactor physics in an engineering department of an American university is examined as far as is possible in contrast to the usual British system. The engineering department considered, namely that of the University of California at Los Angeles, has adopted a unified curriculum of studies which in most respects has the effect of making it very close to a combined department of applied physics and applied chemistry. The nature and quality of the graduated students at all three degree levels from an American university of quite high standing are compared with their British counterparts and some of the particular facets of the nature and effect of the unified curriculum are discussed.
