Intended learning outcomes

Nuclear reactor power plants are very complex systems that may go through various transients during normal and accident situations. This course is designed to simulate the transients and explain their nature. The power plant simulations are based on Apros - the process simulation software for nuclear and thermal power plant applications.

After the course, students will be able to:

  • describe various design bases and beyond design bases accidents,

  • explain the behavior of the nuclear reactor and the power plant during normal operation and the transients,

  • explain the effect of various feedbacks in the nuclear reactor and the power plant during the transients,

  • recognize the cause of a complex transient, and take an appropriate action.
