Program Description:
This material was published by the Regional Center for Nuclear Education and Training (RCNET) as part of a comprehensive crosswalk that links objectives of ACAD 08-006 with GP Strategies ABC Material, NUCP Surveyed Material, NANTeL resources, EPRI resources, web resources, and published material available to all RCNET partners. These accredited utility training programs are based off training and qualification guidelines (ACADs) published by the National Academy for Nuclear Training.

ACAD 08-006 is the Uniform Curriculum Guide for Nuclear Power Plant Technician, Maintenance, and Nonlicensed Operations Personnel Associate Degree Programs and includes five main curriculum areas: Core Curriculum, Discipline-Specific Curriculum for Nonlicensed Operators, Discipline-Specific Curriculum for Radiological Protection Technicians, Discipline-Specific for Chemistry Technicians, and Discipline Specific for Maintenance Personnel.

Contents:
The Core Curriculum is divided into three sections: Fundamentals, Basic Systems Knowledge, and Basic Components Knowledge. This Physics section of Fundamentals (ACAD 08-006 1.1.2) covers physics terms, units, mechanical principles, simple machines, definitions, and basic concepts

Documents associated with ACAD 08-006 1.1.2 include six PowerPoint presentations.

This material covers, more specifically: Systems International (SI) and English units, including measuring pressure, temperature flow, volume, mass, weight, distance, and time; performing basic calculations and applying concepts for density, height and temperature effects on process fluids, mass, fluid, mechanics, acceleration, distance, velocity, energy, force, momentum, and more. The material also covers the principles of mechanical concepts, including purposes and necessity of lubrication principles (such as coefficient of friction, viscosity, heat dissipation) and mechanical principles (such as simple machines, including functions of individual components such as levers, gears, cams, and pulleys).

For orientation purposes Simple Machines.pdf is included as a separate attachment and offers a sample of the type of material included in this curriculum.
