Descripció

This 2019 course is the 2nd edition of the training "Performing Thermal Hydraulic Safety Analysis for Nuclear Power Plants". It is taught by lecturers at the Technical University of Catalonia (Barcelona).
The target of the course is to enhance the comprehension of Safety Analysis for the young professionals that recently started to work in PWR type nuclear power plants, for analysts from the regulatory body and for individuals who may be interested in the field of Safety Analysis.

Objective of the course:

The course objective is to enhance the understanding of complex systems behavior taking place in accidental scenarios in nuclear power plants. Also to understand the link between the plant behavior results and the work performed by analysts or engineering support companies at the power plant. The course will focus on relating the previous knowledge on PWR plant systems with the following topics: (1) Transient and Accident Analyses (Chapter 15) required at plant's Final Safety Analysis Report and (2) Beyond Design Basis Accidents, that might be part of required studies from the regulatory bodies.

Target

The seminar is open to vendors, utilities, regulatory bodies, national laboratories, consulting companies and universities.
