Synopsis:

The expert practice serves to get a deeper knowledge of systems and the operation of a nuclear power plant. The practice is organized on the nuclear power plant Dukovany or Temelin, where students get to know all important parts of a nuclear power plant during an extended excursion and get a basic concept of reactor physicist or operator activities. The visit of a training center and a simulator is a part of the practice.

Requirements:

Syllabus of lectures:

A week-long practice on a nuclear power plant proceeds according a program that is prepared by the nuclear power plant staff:

An example of a program at the nuclear power plant Dukovany:

Monday the invitation, the organizational information, the lecture about the secondary circuit, the visit of the secondary circuit machine room, external objects.

Tuesday the excursion of the central room of the radiation check, the spent fuel storage, the fuel management.

Wednesday thermo hydraulic characteristics, the planning and optimization of fuel composition.

Thursday the shutdown control, the reactivity control, the startup of the plant block after the fuel change, the monitoring of the core status.

Friday the emergency planning, the longterm operation of the power plant.

An example of a program at the nuclear power plant Temelin:

Monday the invitation, the management of the nuclear fuel and the core, the projection and the safety assessment of the fuel composition.

Tuesday the fuel manipulation, the storage of the spent fuel, the excursion in the checked area the fresh fuel storage, the spent fuel storage, the radioactive waste, the Beacon system for the calculation of the operational core status from the Westinghouse company.

Wednesday the emergency preparedness, the simulator and the training of the staff, selected tasks.

Thursday the block startup after the fuel change, the accident management, stress tests measures, the safety analysis, the excursion of nuclear power plant blocks number 1 and 2, their operation and control rooms.

Friday the radiation protection system, the radiation check and the personal dosimetry.
