NUCL 5275G - Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS)


Safety is an essential part of nuclear and energy systems. This course covers fundamentals of safety engineering, including safety system design and safety instrumented systems. Safety assessment techniques are used to evaluate failure modes scenarios and to design and validate nuclear safety systems. This is achieved through the review of previous nuclear accidents and possible failure scenarios. Environmental and other external fault scenarios are discussed and assessed to design and validate appropriate safety systems. Students will also design and validate recovery and shutdown systems for disaster and severe accident scenarios, and design safety systems for control of nuclear releases with the analysis of health and environment.
Credit hours: 3
Prerequisite(s): Undergraduate courses in radiation, health and nuclear reactor design.
