NUCL 5120G - Design of Nuclear Plant Systems

The course presents the main design and operating features of nuclear power plants, including the plant life cycle; plant layout; and the key steps in the process of nuclear plant design, including the design and operation of unit control schemes, shutdown and safety systems, reactor cooling, shutdown and emergency core cooling systems, steam generator design features, level and pressure control, turbine and generator, feedheating systems, unit electrical, service water and air systems, the fuel handling and storage systems. Where appropriate, nuclear power plant simulators are used to demonstrate the key design features of plant systems and unit behaviour, including those using pressurized and boiling light water; pressurized heavy water and gas cooled reactors; and small, medium and large reactors.
