[QUOTE="Astronuc, post: 5810112, member: 15685"] Apparently, programs at various universities teach MatLab, or use MatLab in course work. It's probably useful to learn, but one should branch out into other languages, especially if one is interested in modeling and simulation. It's best to get into a language like Python and C++ or Fortran and solve systems of equations in order to understand the physics and the mathematics involved in describing the physics. One might find oneself having to work on a problem with something other than MatLab. The key areas in nuclear power systems are reactor physics or neutronics, thermal-hydraulics and structural mechanics (including fuel performance). If one does fusion engineering, then plasma physics would be in the reactor physics. In the past, detailed simulations were done more or less separately, but the trend has been to couple these areas. There are other related areas like radiation effects on materials. [/QUOTE]
