The 10 week Westinghouse Online Solid State Protection System Course will allow the successful student to understand how the Solid State Protection System operates under normal and abnormal conditions. The student will also learn how to use schematic drawings to trace signals and locate test points. Most importantly students will learn how to test and troubleshoot the system. Upon course completion, students will be prepared to support troubleshooting activities on site and to participate in future face-to-face training sessions. The course incorporates a progressive, student-centered, interactive learning approach designed to increase the effectiveness of the learning experience compared with that of traditional classroom lecture oriented training. By blending a variety of instructional methods and delivery options, Westinghouse is able to more actively engage the students in the learning process and more effectively facilitate a positive change in performance. In this program, students become active participants in their learning process. They are the center of the action, not passive observers. After the completion of the ten-week Online Solid State Protection System (SSPS) Course, Westinghouse will conduct a 5-day face-to-face SSPS Troubleshooting course. The face-to-face segments will be conducted in the Westinghouse SSPS Mobile Instrumentation Training Unit (MITU). The MITU contains one train of a fully operational SSPS system. Using the foundational concepts learned during the online course and during previous SSPS courses, a qualified Westinghouse SSPS instructor will guide the students through a series of hands-on learning opportunities and troubleshooting exercises. During the face-to-face segment, students will work with SSPS schematics and SSPS hardware to find test points, measure voltages, and trace signals through the system. Students will also learn systematic techniques for troubleshooting the SSPS system. |

| Week 1: Unit 1: Welcome to Online Learning Unit 2: Overview of SSPS Week 2: Unit 3: Physical Description Unit 4: Protection system Design Week 3: Unit 5: NAND Gates, Motorola High Threshold Logic and Flip-Flops Unit 6: Reactor Trips, Safeguards Actuations, and Permissives Week 4: Unit 7: SSPS Power Distribution and Grounding Scheme Unit 8: Reactor Protection – Input Bay Week 5: Unit 9: Reactor Protection – Universal Logic Boards Unit 10: Reactor Protection – Universal Logic Board Configuration Week 6: Unit 11: Reactor Protection – Undervoltage Driver Boards Unit 12: Reactor Protection – Safeguards Driver Boards and Output Bay Week 7: Unit 13: Reactor Protection – Putting It All Together Unit 14: Multiplexing Overview Week 8: Unit 15: Multiplexing Details Unit 16: Demultiplexers Week 9: Unit 17: Multiplexing – Putting It All Together Unit 18: Testing Overview Week 10: Unit 19: Switches, Indicator Lights, and General Warnings Unit 20: The Solid state Protection System – Putting It All Together The Online Solid state Protection System Course is typically conducted over a 10-week period, although it can be altered on a case-by-case basis. During this 10-week period, students will have access to all of the online “lecture” and graphical presentation materials. In addition, they will be given an SSPS schematic diagram book. There are 20 units of study. Students will complete 2 units per week. Students will typically need to commit approximately four hours per week to their study of the Solid State Protection system course. Students may access course documents at any time and may work ahead on exams if they desire. However, threaded discussion topics will only be open for the weeks that they are scheduled. This will help to keep everyone together as a learning community while still give students the flexibility to adjust the pace of learning to fit their own individual learning styles. |
