Synopsis:

Understand the release and distribution of thermal energy in a nuclear reactor.

Master the basic disciplines of heat removal from fuel.

Energy released and its spatial distribution in the fuel element and in the core.

The design of the reactor cooling system, which includes the choice of coolant, fuel and cladding, and energy

transfer methods (conduction heat transfer in solid structures, convection and radiant heat transfer to coolant one and two phase flow and appropriate heat transfer).

Thermal Core Thermal Design Procedure.

Utilizing the thermal energy of reactor coolant to produce steam into the coolant.

Dynamics of nuclear power plants.

Advanced computational methods using the thermohydraulic package of NRC codes.
