PWR Operator training on procedure and accidental conditions

Duration:    on request
Language:  German
Location:    Karlstein or Customer Facility

Objectives:

The training course is based on the results tests performed by Framatome with the integral test facility PKL for investigating PWR behaviors under accidental conditions. The course focuses in particular on accidental scenarios, for which simulators cannot sufficiently reproduce the thermal-hydraulic phenomena (e.g. failure of RHRS at ¾ loop operation)

The reactor behavior is shown on a detailed animation (simultaneous graphical display of more than 1500 measuring points showing the chronological change of the plants conditions) and are explained in detail.

Content:

Standard or Tailor made training based on customer’s type of plant and operating procedure based on following scenarios:​

• Large break / small break / intermediate break loss-of coolant accident
• Steam generator tube rupture
• Main steam line breaks
• Station blackout, loss of feed-water transients
• Failure of RHRS from cold shutdown condition
• Efficiency of accident management (bleed-and-feed)procedures
• Systematic studies on thermal-hydraulic phenomena:
  • Single- / two-phase natural circulation
  • Reflux condenser conditions with / without non condensable gases

Target Group:

Shift personnel and specialists, crisis management teams and process engineering teams.

Prerequisites:

Several years of relevant work experience in the PWR operations or system engineering.

Duration:

1 to 5 days
