Course objectives:
|
The subject provides basic information about the control of NPP power which is different from the control of standard machines which increase the output with the increase of fuel supply. Fuel is already loaded in the reactor core, therefore, it is not possible to increase or decrease the power by mere increasing or decreasing the fuel flow rate
|
Requirements on student
|
Active paricipation in lectures and tutorials, final test and oral exam.
|
Content
|
Nuclear reactor as a subject of regulation. Basic therms from nuclear reactor regulation. Control and safety systems. Regulation of reactors - types: PWR, BWR, MAGNOX, AGR, CANDU, HTGR, FBR.
Automatic regulation of a nuclear reactor. Complex design of regulation system. Regulation of power of nuclear reactor and complex nuclear power plant.
