本课程的特点为在作业部分有全套的习题和解答，而在测验部分则有测验题范例、测验题及解答。

This course features a full set of problem sets in the assignments section and quizzes, along with solutions, in the exams section.

本课程主要为对核子工程学系的所有学生讲授基础知识。强调核观念(与传统的核物理课不同)，特别是核子辐射和其与物质的交互作用。研究各种不同类型的辐射和单一碰撞现象(截面)，而将多次碰撞的效应留待后续的课程(22.105和22.106)。本课程比22.51和22.106采用较低水平的量子力学。

This subject deals with foundational knowledge for all students in NED. Emphasis is on nuclear concepts (as opposed to traditional nuclear physics), especially nuclear radiations and their interactions with matter. We will study different types of reactions, single-collision phenomena (cross sections) and leave the effects of many collisions to later subjects (22.105 and 22.106). Quantum mechanics is used at a lower level than in 22.51 and 22.106.
