本課程的特點為在作業部分有全套的習題和解答，而在測驗部分則有測驗題範例、測驗題及解答。

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

本課程主要為對核子工程學系的所有學生講授基礎知識。強調核觀念(與傳統的核物理課不同)，特別是核子輻射和其與物質的交互作用。研究各種不同類型的輻射和單一碰撞現象(截面)，而將多次碰撞的效應留待後續的課程(22.105和22.106)。本課程比22.51和22.106採用較低水平的量子力學。

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.
