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 of 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 Chemistry section of Fundamentals (ACAD 08-006 1.1.6) covers the basics of chemistry and water chemistry control.
Documents associated with ACAD 08-006 1.1.6 include four PowerPoint presentations and one lesson plan document with instructor notes.
This material covers, more specifically: acids and bases; conductivity; ion exchangers; mixtures, solutions, and compounds; molecules; the Periodic Table; pH; properties and uses of gases; states of matter; units of measure; the effects of impurities; ion exchange theory; parameters monitored; principles of water treatment; sources of impurities; the corrosion process including types characteristics and prevention; water control methods; analytical results and core conditions; control/removal of impurities; effects of impurities; hydrogen gas in reactor water; radiolysis and recombination; and radiochemistry.
For orientation purposes the Fuel Pool Cooling and Clean-Up System Instructor Notes.pdf is included as a separate attachment and offers a sample of the type of material included in this curriculum.
