Naval Nuclear Propulsion Plant Fundamentals (22.5 hours)Prerequisite: None W 4:30 – 7:00 PM B. Quandahl A-SCH, BLDG. 1919This all new course (formerly Nuclear Plant Principles) introduces the naval nuclear propulsion plant to students with limited or no background in the subject. Have you ever wondered how we use a nuclear reactor to make a submarine or aircraft carrier move? The course begins with the defi nition of a naval nuclear propulsion plant and what it does. Class discussions include various components used throughout a nuclear propulsion plant: pumps, valves, etc., and how heat exchangers are used; some of the many systems found within a nuclear propulsion plant, and how these systems work together to support operation of the ship. Students will become familiar with the fi ssion process and how the energy of fi ssion is used to power a naval nuclear ship. Course material is presented in an easy to understand way, appropriate for students with no physics background. The course also covers how to operate a nuclear propulsion plant after it is built. Class discussions include plant startup, shutdowns, and how the plant responds when we change speed. Finally, information provided includes how we, at the shipyard, work with nuclear ships to build and refuel them. So bring your questions and get an understanding of how your role, here at the shipyard, contributes to ultimately making our ships operate effi ciently and safely.
