Outline and Purpose of the Course	New regulations related to NPP (Nuclear Power Plant) have been issued since an accident of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station caused by the tsunami of the Great East Japan Earthquake in March 11 2011. Electric power companies have progressed safety enhancement of NPP along it. Using case of BWR (Boiling Water Reactor) plant, techniques and experiences regarding to NPP are explained in this lecture; plant system design, nuclear plant construction, plant operation and maintenance, and safety enhancement. Furthermore, fuel cycle and application of nuclear accelerator is introduced in this lecture.
Course Goals	To understand techniques and experiences regarding to NPP; plant system design, nuclear plant construction, plant operation and maintenance, and safety enhancement.
