Summary
Do you want to understand how a nuclear power plant “observes” its operation, how it measures key physical quantities, and how sensor systems can detect early signs of emerging issues in critical equipment? This course introduces sensor technology and dosimetry used in nuclear power plants during normal operation as well as during outages and maintenance. Students will learn the physical principles of sensors, their construction, behavior in harsh environments, and methods for evaluating measured signals. A significant part of the course is dedicated to optical sensors, which play an important role in modern measurement and diagnostic systems. Radiation measurement and dosimetry are an integral part of the course, including personal dosimeters and radiation monitoring systems. In laboratory classes, students will work hands-on with sensors, build measurement chains, perform basic calibrations, and evaluate real data to understand sensor behavior and their application to condition diagnostics of nuclear power plant equipment.
