NUCL 4120U – Instrumentation in Nuclear Power Generation


This course is designed to instruct students in instrumentation related to nuclear power generation. In the course, the student will learn how to perform experimental data analysis, how various components of sensing devices inter-relate (for example, relationships between amplifiers, transformers, filters, etc.), the operating principles of transducers for physical measurements in a nuclear power plant, including, but not limited to: neutron flux, pressure, flow, temperature and level. The student will learn both analog and digital techniques for data analysis, including multiplexing, data conversion and error detection and correction. The utilization of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for experimental data analysis will be explored. The concept and role of Digital Twin (DT) and how it relates to advanced instrumentation and data management in an NPP will be introduced. The laboratory exercises will give the student hands-on experience designing measurement systems. Proper data reporting techniques will also be emphasized.
