Overview (will be moved to the Content & Structure child page?)

Written exams (early Feb):

• 3 hours in the morning for two subjects, followed by 3 hours in the afternoon for the other two subjects.
• You will be given problems for two subjects at once, and it is your choice to distribute time between the two subjects. Though you cannot choice which two subjects to take in the morning, and which two for the afternoon. Fission students get 101 and 211 in the morning, and 312 and 106 in the afternoon.
• Closed books, with calculator.
• Coffee (oh yeah!), water, breakfast and lunch will be provided by ANS (at least they were for 2013).

Oral exam (1-2 weeks after the written exams):

• 1.5 hours for answering the 1st question, another 1.5 hours for the 2nd.
• First question will be given to you a week before your oral exam date, and it is specific to your chosen area (e.g., reactor physics, thermal hydraulics, material etc). You are allowed to do whatever research you need, and generally you can bring 3 slides to the oral exam (whether you can bring in notes and backup slides etc differ from area to area, so check with your professor!)
• Second question will be given to you on the spot, and you have 5 minutes to read the problem and prepare an answer. All fission students get the same question (and same apply for fusion and NST).
