Credits: 4.00
Department: Heat Engineering and Thermal and Nuclear Power Plants
Lecturer: Dr. Science Professor. Lukiyanets Bohdan
Semester: 5 семестр
Mode of study: денна
Learning outcomes: Student will obtain the basic provisions of the physical theory of nuclear reactors, mathematical description of kinetic processes in the core, сonditions of the criticality of the reactor, basic information on management capabilities of fission reaction, knowledge of physical processes in nuclear reactors with thermal and fast neutrons. Such knowledge will be useful for student activities at the plant.
