Abstract
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) maintains a technical training center at Chattanooga, Tennessee, to provide appropriate training to both new and experienced NRC employees. This document describes a one-week course in nuclear safety concepts. The course consists of five modules: (1) the development of safety concepts; (2) severe accident perspectives; (3) accident progression in the reactor vessel; (4) containment characteristics and design bases; and (5) source terms and offsite consequences. The course text is accompanied by slides and videos during the actual presentation of the course.
