Course objectives:
|
The goal of this subject is to provide to students competence that help them understand basic function of electrical parts in nuclear power plants. The next aim of the subject is introduction in to reactor feedback, instrumentation and control system and measurement and regulation of nuclear power plant. Another part of the subject is reliability analysis - Risk Management, Probabilistic safety assessment (PSA) of nuclear power plant and analysis of nuclear power plant systems.
|
Requirements on student
|
Pre-Exam Credit: Attendance at seminars, submission of properly prepared protocols and seminar paper on a given topic.
Exam: Mastering the subject knowledge in the range defined by the lecturer (test + oral exam).

Content
|
1. Nuclear energy in the Czech Republic and the world - power engineering and energy mix of the Czech Republic and the world, operated nuclear reactors and power plants, NPP Temelin and NPP Dukovany, a view into the future.
2. Nuclear power plant technologies - nuclear reactors and NPP, basic principles, cooling circuits of NPP with PWR and their main components - primary circuit, secondary circuit, cooling circuit.
3. Nuclear reactor technologies - types of operating nuclear reactors, differences, parameters. Operating characteristics and features, technology of commercial reactors, GEN IV reactors and SMRs.
4. Operation of the nuclear reactor - operating modes, reactor start-up and reaching criticality and start-up of other components, physical and power start-up tests, reactor operation, failure of the main circulation pump and turbine trip, reactor core behaviour during core burn-up, reactor shutdown.
5. Electrical part of NPP - nuclear power plant efficiency, NPP output power and self-consumption, nuclear unit power output, self-consumption power supply (main, reserve and emergency), uninterruptible power supply systems (categorisation and devices).
6. Measurements on NPP and I&C - instrumentation and control of NPP, main control room, I&C and nuclear safety (redundancy, diversion, physical separation), NPP measurements (thermo-technical, boric acid concentration, neutron flux measurement).
7. NPP operation economics - construction, operating and fuel costs, nuclear account, NPP decommissioning, final costs of electricity, financial aspects of the uranium fuel cycle (mining, uranium ore, enrichment, conversion, fabrication, costs associated with spent nuclear fuel - storage, reprocessing, disposal).
8. Introduction to nuclear safety and dosimetry - essential principles and safety criteria of nuclear facilities, physical barriers against radioactive material leakage, defence in depth, principles of radiation protection, dosimetry (ionising radiation, essential dosimetric units, detection of ionising radiation).
9. NPP Risk Management - identifying and assessing risks and monitoring, prevention and management during normal operation and emergency.
10. Probabilistic Safety Assessment - qualitative and quantitative methods and tools for determining the safety of NPP operation, deterministic and probabilistic safety assessment, fault tree analysis and event tree analysis.
11. Nuclear accidents - introduction, INES scale, the most significant nuclear accidents.
12. Nuclear accidents - lessons learned, impact on safety systems and operation of current reactors.
13. Measurements on the school reactor VR-1
The exercises complement and extend the topics covered in the lectures. Case studies based on known nuclear accidents are discussed. The activities include practical training on the school reactor VR-1.
