NUCLEAR REACTOR KINETICS

About the course

The objectives of the development of the discipline is the formation of students of a certain set of competencies (results of development) to prepare for various types of professional activity.

Learning outcomes:

to know: information technology and software; basic rules for ensuring the operation of nuclear power plants; technological process of equipment operation; permissible deviations of working parameters; order of action in emergency situations, etc.

to be able to: fix data measurement parameters; take measures to normalize the mode of operation of equipment; analyze equipment operation for the absence of deviations in operation modes and parameters, etc.

to master skills: identify abnormalities related to equipment maintenance; test equipment; preparation of operational documentation, etc.
