Course Aims

This course aims to equip the students with the basic principles of nuclear reactor and safety analysis. It is designed to introduce the use of the theory and methods of nuclear reactor kinetics, and to provide analytical methods for estimation of heat removal from nuclear reactors, and to introduce the safety analysis theories related to the reactor licensing. The areas of accident analysis, space/time-dependent analysis, and reactivity feedback analysis in reactor transients will also be discussed.
