NUCLEAR INSTRUMENTATION SYSTEM TROUBLESHOOTING. I&C Training Programs

The in-person segments will be held at the Mobile Instrumentation Training Unit (MITU) at Westinghouse NIS. The MITU contains a fully operational NIS system that includes source range, intermediate range, power range, and auxiliary drawers.

Using the fundamental concepts learned during the online course and during previous NIS courses, students will be guided through a series of hands-on learning opportunities and problem-solving exercises. Since the online course covers the basics and general knowledge of the NIS, this allows the class to move directly to the instruments.

Extensive use of schematics and discussion of integrated plant concepts related to NIS maintenance and troubleshooting are used to provide a “real plant” learning environment. Some of the more difficult maintenance elements are also practiced, such as power range speed circuit alignment.

Course Schedule:

• Review of instrument schematics in great detail.
• Taking readings and verifying that the theoretical concepts coincide with the real operation of the equipment.
• Troubleshooting NIS failures.
• Improvement of problem-solving skills, in the face of failures of increasingly complex NIS equipment.
