NU4819 Reactor Operations

A capstone course in integrated reactor plant operations drawing on many areas of physics to develop a fundamental understanding of the underlying principles governing the procedures for safe operation of a nuclear power plant. Emphasis is placed on pressurized water reactors. Special attention is devoted to plausible reactor plant casualty analysis from the point of view of safe system design and proper operator response. (This course number and title represent course content taught at Naval Nuclear Power School and not at Naval Postgraduate School. Credit will be granted for students enrolled in a NPS graduate studies program.)Graded pass/fail only.
