Diploma Power Plant Engineering Safety & Technology

Students in this course will investigate the engineering design of nuclear power plants using fundamental principles of reactor physics, thermodynamics, fluid flow, and heat transfer.

Reactor designs, thermal analysis of nuclear fuel, reactor coolant flow and heat transfer, power conversion cycles, nuclear safety, and reactor dynamic behaviour are among the topics covered.

The goal of this qualification is to disseminate lessons learned information about training and human resource considerations for nuclear power plant commissioning (NPPs).

The IAEA technical working group on nuclear power plant personnel training and qualification. The experiences gained in commissioning training for nuclear power plant projects are covered in this topic.

This recommendation was made in recognition of the fact that in many of the Member States with operational nuclear power plants, it has been several years since an NPP has been commissioned, and most of the staff with commissioning experience has since retired.
