VERSION SPECIFIC DATA
course aims in Estonian
Õppeaine eesmärk on anda üliõpilastele ülevaade tuumajõujaamade ajaloost ja tänapäevastest arengutest, tutvustada jääksoojuse kasutuspotentsiaali ja võimalusi ning selgitada tuumaenergia kasutusele võtmise võimalusi ja analüüsida piiranguid.
course aims in English
The aim of this course is to provide students with an overview of the history and modern developments of nuclear energy systems; to introduce the potential and possibilities of using residual heat; and to explain the possibilities and limitations of the introduction of nuclear energy.
learning outcomes in the course in Est.
Õppeaine läbinud üliõpilane:
- analüüsib tuumajõujaamade süsteeme, toimimisprintsiipe ja probleeme ning leiab neile lahendusi;
- sünteesib tehnoloogia arengusuundi, tehnilisi, ning majanduslikke probleeme;
- analüüsib reakorites kasutatavaid termodünaamilisi kehi, materjale ja tuumkütuseid;
- sünteesib tuumareaktoritega seonduvaid ohutuse probleemistikke, ohutussüsteemide arengusuundi ja süvakaitse strateegiat;
- analüüsib tuumajõujaamades kasutatavaid üldisi kontrolliskeeme;
- analüüsib esmaseid soojusvahetussüsteeme ja sellega seotud juhtimisseadmete ülesehitust ning toimimist.
learning outcomes in the course in Eng.
After completing this course the student is capable in:
- analysis of nuclear energy systems, principles of operation and problems and finding proper solutions;
- synthesises of the technological developments, technical and economic problems;
- analysis of the thermodynamic bodies, materials and fuels used in reactors;
- synthesises of the nuclear reactor safety issues, safety systems developments and deep protection strategy;
- analysis of the general control schemes used in nuclear energy systems;
- analysis of the design and operation of primary heat exchange systems and associated controls.
brief description of the course in Estonian
