| Language: | German, English on request |
| Location: | Karlstein / Erlangen |
Objectives:
With regard to design basis accidents in PWRs, participants acquire an overview of accident-related design of the overall plant. In this context, an understanding of accident sequences is developed, characterized by thermodynamic summaries, safety I&C, safety systems and manual actions.
Content:
The following accidents (and transients) are covered with respect to the points mentioned above:
- Loss of offsite power (transient)
- Loss-of-coolant accidents (LOCA)
- Steam generator tube ruptures
- Feedwater line breaks
- Main steam line breaks
- Inadvertent operation of main steam valves
- Subcooling transients
- External events
- ATWS
- Test results of the PKL and UPTF test facilities
Target Group:
Persons with process and I&C engineering background from nuclear power plants, manufacturers, expert organizations or authorities.
Prerequisites:
PWR introductory course (B211D or B226D) or "PWR Safety and Process Engineering“ (B228D). Several years of relevant work experience in a PWR nuclear power plant, expert organization, authority or manufacturer are advantageous.
Duration:
5 days
