Department of Nuclear Reactors

Synopsis:

The course familiarizes students with basic machine devices of nuclear power plants, which are important for their operation, as are: pressurizer system, pumps and blowers, steam and gas turbines, heat exchangers (condensers, steam generators, reheaters, feed water heaters, etc.) and pipes and valves. Informations about devices are given primarily in descriptive level. It means that students are familiarized with different designs, used materials, manufacturing and operational experiences and parameters of real devices from power plants. Students also receive basic outline of fundamental theory about calculations of devices.
