Non-Licensed Operator Courses

Introduction to the basic operations of hydraulic and fluid flows. Focuses on principles associated with lubrication, pumps, manual valves, valve operators, and components associated with strainers and filters.

This course provides an introduction to electrical generation and distribution systems with a focus on transformers, motor and control circuits, generators, and the impact of environmental conditions.

This course introduces steam systems and key facility components, including steam traps, turbines, heat exchangers, diesel generators, air compressors, and HVAC equipment. It also provides a brief overview of supercritical CO¿ turbines and small modular reactor designs to illustrate modern approaches to heat removal and power conversion.

Study of nuclear plant water chemistry, including corrosion mechanisms, radiolysis, coolant chemistry control, ion exchange, activated corrosion products, fission-product behavior, and BWR/PWR chemistry programs.

This course provides an introduction to industrial processes and cycles including steam plants, diesel generators, air compressors, and refrigeration cycles. It also covers advanced heat transfer topics including thermal hydraulics.

Formerly IC 250, NOP 261

Basic introduction to instrumentation and control processes for operators. Topics include basic control circuits, pneumatic devices, sensors, and hydraulic controls.
