Stubbins--NPRE Department Head; nuclear materials, irradiation damage and effects, mechanical properties, high temperature corrosion, stress corrosion cracking, electron microscopy. Teaching an Unfamiliar Subject High school science teachers would like to be better prepared to teach topics related to energy sources that they are asked to teach in a unit at the end of the student's junior or senior year. Although the text book material is correct, it does nothing to encourage the teacher to supplement the material or to make the subject fun and interesting. The faculty of the Department of Nuclear, Plasma and Radiological Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is eager to share its knowledge and experience in teaching topics related to energy sources. Workshop Topics Include: • What is radiation and how is it used • Common radioactive materials • Fuel cycle • Fission • TMI • Chernobyl • Radioactive waste • Fusion • Licensing • IFR/Breeders • Medical and environmental uses • The Economics of it all Workshop Tours Include: • UI Teaching Reactor • Clinton Nuclear Power Plant Professional Development (CPDUs) Section 21-14 of the School Code requires that teachers employed in positions which legally require certification and certified teachers employed in charter schools must engage in professional development during the period of the certificates' validity in order to renew those certificates. This workshop will satisfy up to 30 CPDUs for Illinois teachers. Organized in cooperation with the University of Illinois Office of Continuing Education Division of Academic Outreach.
