NUCL 4700U – Nuclear Plant Design and Simulation

Introduces the main design and operating features of nuclear power plants using pressurized and boiling light water, pressurized heavy water and gas cooled reactors; small, medium and large reactors; 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 design; feedwater systems; unit electrical, service water and air systems. Where appropriate, nuclear power plant simulators will be used to demonstrate key aspects of power plant design.
