The SCWR system is primarily designed for efficient electricity production. (Image courtesy of the Idaho National Laboratory.)


    Course Description


    This course covers the engineering principles of nuclear reactors, emphasizing power reactors. Specific topics include power plant thermodynamics, reactor heat generation and removal (single-phase as well as two-phase coolant flow and heat transfer), and structural mechanics. It also discusses engineering considerations in reactor design.
