 Class
Website
Instructor:
- W.E. Kastenberg, 4103 Etcheverry
Hall, 643-0574, kastenbe@nuc.berkeley.edu
Description:
- Principles and methods used in the safety evaluation
of complex engineered systems with principle emphasis on fission
and fusion nuclear power plants. Safety philosophy regarding design,
siting, operation and regulation. Deterministic and probabilistic
models and methods, including seismic safety, fires and system
stability.
- The course will consist of lectures and a term
project. The term project will focus on the safety analysis required
for siting a large complex engineered facility (e.g. fission or
fusion power plant, chemical process plant, etc.) at a location
in California. Grades will be based on the term projects and a
final class presentation, in a hearing format.
