The student will also learn how to use schematic drawings to trace signals and find test points, and identify basic system problems. Upon course completion, students will be prepared to assist in troubleshooting activities on site or to attend future face-to-face training sessions.
The Online Nuclear Instrumentation Course consists of technical content in the form of interactive, animated PowerPoint presentations, as well as threaded discussions in which students discuss technical aspects of the Nuclear Instrumentation System, maintenance issues, Operating Experience Reports, and plant specific information. Numerous student learning assessments are conducted within the online course.
Students with little or no Nuclear Instrumentation System experience will need to thoroughly study all of the content, while other more experienced students can review objectives and test out of particular sections of material. Additionally, more experienced students can use the course material as a stepping stone to more advanced study by examining related schematic drawings, reviewing plant documents, and posing higher level questions to fellow students and to the instructor. After completing the online training course, the students will have an understanding of the Nuclear Instrumentation System to the block diagram level. Knowing the function of all of the boards in the system and the signals that pass between them, students can productively assist in troubleshooting activities on site or attend future face-to-face training sessions.
Students may access course documents at any time and may work ahead on exams if they desire. However, threaded discussion topics will only be open for the weeks that they are scheduled. This will help to keep everyone together as a learning community while still give students the flexibility to adjust the pace of learning to fit their own individual learning styles.
During the face-to-face segment, students will work with NIS schematics and NIS hardware to find test points, measure voltages, and trace signals through the system. Students will also learn systematic techniques for troubleshooting the NIS system.
