This course will focus on acquiring practical knowledge of nuclear thermal hydraulics, by presenting various methods and research regarding this subject.

The seminar series will focus on selected, most current issues in nuclear energy concerning Small Modular Reactors. Lectures will be delivered by an invited guest, a distinguished Korean professor, Keung-koo Kim.

During the course, students perform practical exercises on one of the nuclear power plant simulators with a pressurized water reactor. The aim of the course is to demonstrate the basic physical processes occurring in a nuclear power plant and its operational characteristics, the physical relationships between its individual components, and management principles. The main emphasis is placed on analyzing the behavior of the nuclear power plant during normal operation, transient states, and emergen

The course has two objectives. First, it aims to help participants navigate daily life in Korea if they ever visit the country. Second, it seeks to alleviate potential misunderstandings that may arise when collaborating with Korean colleagues by providing participants with the essential tools to understand Korean culture.
