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:
This section of Discipline-Specific Curriculum for Chemistry Technicians (ACAD 08-006 4.25) focuses on explaining and applying the concepts related to corrosion and corrosion prevention.
Documents associated with ACAD 08-006 4.25 include five PowerPoint presentations and one curriculum resource.
The curriculum resource is a 141-page chapter titled Primary Systems. "This chapter covers the components that make up the primary system, which includes the purpose, construction, instrumentation, controls and protection of the system."
This material covers, more specifically: the types and causes of corrosion, the factors that effect the rates of corrosion, corrosion control methods during operation, the control of deposits, the minimization of intergranular stress corrosion in BWRS, the control of living organisms, layup protection for plant systems, the effect of component corrosion on out-of-core radiation levels such as Co-60 reduction and induced crud burst (forced oxidation), and more.
For orientation purposes EffectsofCorrosion.pdf is included as a separate attachment and offers a sample of the type of material included in this curriculum.
Below is a list of the files contained within the .zip attachment. The size of each file is included in parenthesis.
