The major role of the Department of Nuclear Engineering is to supply qualified research manpower to demanding nuclear R&D sectors, research institutes or centers in either national labs or private companies. Current demands have come from nuclear power engineering related to power plant design and construction of both present-generation and next-generation and radiation applications. Most graduates work with research teams in the nuclear industry. In the department, 9 professors and about 70 graduate students are busy conducting valuable researches. The number and budget size of research projects contracted to the Nuclear Engineering Department are ranked at the top-lines in Kyung Hee University. Research fields and corresponding curriculum subjects are nuclear reactor core design, fuel cycle analysis, plant system engineering, radioactive waste management, radiation applications, health physics, nuclear safety analysis, nuclear environmental assessment, and material research. There is one NRL (designated by MOST), one IERC (designated by MOCIE), one radiation monitoring center (designated by MOST) and two special labs, CyLEX (which is a cyber lecture and experimental classroom) and educational reactor AGN-201 (which is the only university research reactor in Korea).
