This 48 hour course covers thermal hydraulics applied to the operation of BWR plants using seminars and workshops.

Topics include:

• Thermal hydraulic basis for BWR

• Core power distribution, peak factors, etc.

• Thermal hydraulic limits

• Heat production limits, thermal and peak factor limits, etc.

• Normal operating condition thermal hydraulics

• Power response, core power determination, BWR instabilities, etc.

• Abnormal operating condition thermal hydraulics

•Transient core response, LOCA thermal hydraulic response, etc.
