Nuclear Power Plant Training

INPO ACAD Basic Curriculum Sample Course Materials

The ACAD Basic Curriculum training program consists of the following modules:

1. Mathematics
2. Classical Physics
3. Mechanical Science
4. Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow
5. Electrical Science
6. Instrumentation and Control
7. Chemistry
8. Nuclear Science
9. Materials Science

Each module is further subdivided into multiple chapters. This allows selection of topics applicable to specific target audiences within the ACADs addressed. Users will be able to easily teach a class of mixed disciplines or to select only those topics necessary for a given discipline. Each chapter contains a matrix cross-referencing the ACAD topics to the disciplines.

Each chapter contains a student text, instructor guide, PowerPoint presentation, and exam bank questions. The materials are provided on a CD in Microsoft Office Suite (Word and PowerPoint). The materials are in the same format as the extremely successful GP Generic Fundamentals training materials. The student text is a two-column format with table of contents, objectives, embedded graphics, practice exercises, and glossary.

To experience our courseware, download the following samples. The student texts and instructor guides are Adobe Acrobat Portable Document Format (PDF) files. The PowerPoint presentation has been converted to HTML format to minimize download time.
