- Synopsis:
-
The course gives information about basic requirements for safety assessment of nuclear facilities. New knowledge is connected with information get from other courses focussed on reactor physics, reactor thermomechanics and dynamics. During lectures are discussed principles of defence in depth, deterministic and probabilistic safety assessment, accidents with loss of coolant, and accidents with positive reactivity and criticality. Next part of the course follows up use of operation experiences and lessons learned from important events. The last part is focussed on safety aspect of operation of different types of reactors and their comparison to PWR and safety aspects of operation of research reactors.
