Nuclear Power Plant Machinery
About the course
What is a reactor pressure vessel? What are the principal features of the Steam Generator? What are the differences between Generation I and IV plant designs? Allow this course to show you the principles of operation, design, maintenance, and safety for machinery within nuclear power plants.
In this Self-Paced course 3-D models are used to take participants through a nuclear power plant, the different types of reactors are shown, and the components within a pressurized water reactor are explained. This course provides the detail level needed for engineers and decision-makers starting out in the nuclear industry.
This course consists of 2hr of video content based on 3-D models of a nuclear power station featuring detailed narration by the instructor and cutaways of the internals of the components.
