| Summary: | [EN] The course "Advanced Nuclear Power Plants" is taught in the 4th year of the Grade of Energy Engineering, in the Universitat Politècnica de València. This is the first year this course have been taught and has a reduced number of students enrolled, as it is offered as an optional subject. All the students have a prior training in Nuclear Energy through the subject "Nuclear Technology". In this course, design and safety analysis of new nuclear fission reactors is studied. During this course it has begun work on the transversal skill "Problem Analysis and Resolution” in both theory and practice sessions. Aware of the importance of the development of this skill, different sessions are designed to solve a complex problem (not exercises) in which students should be involved in decision-making processes. For this purpose, the calculation of different design parameters of an advanced nuclear reactor using a Monte Carlo code is proposed. The problem to solve is open and not completely defined, and the class sessions are designed to provide guidance and help, but trying to encourage self-work and research. The evaluation was consistent with the methodology used and it has taken into account the scope of the analysis, giving priority to the metholology used even more than the results themselves. |
