 PWR PLANT SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION 

AND OPERATION (OP 141) 

Course Objectives 

This course is designed to review the design 

basis and layout of the major PWR plant 

systems. The interactions between the different 

systems and the overall plant integration are 

particularly enhanced. 

Exercises are foreseen in order to understand 

systems operation.

 PWR PLANT CHEMISTRY (OP 142) 

Course Objectives 

The purpose of this course is to explain the 

chemistry of the PWR, the problems that arise 

during operation and the actions to be taken to 

minimize the effects caused by these problems. 

After an initial refresher on the basic principles 

of nuclear power, the course proceeds with an 

examination of the controls required for safe 

long term operation and leads to a set of 

specifications and actions aimed at maintaining 

the required conditions. 

On completion of the course, attendees will have 

a full understanding of chemistry requirements 

and how they are met.
