Sustainable Development Goals

Abstract/Objectives

1. Heat transfer mechanisms of reactors and theory for safety limits of reactor temperature 2. Introduction to basic components of nuclear power plants, safety design, and accident progression 3. Principles of atmospheric dispersion, release of radionuclides, and dose assessment 4. Introduction to innovative nuclear technologies and the role of nuclear power in achieving zero carbon emissions by 2050

Results/Contributions

  1. Understand the principles of power generation in nuclear power plants, how nuclear fuel produces reaction heat, the heat transfer mechanisms, and plant design from the perspective of heat transfer.
  2. Understand the basic infrastructure and important components of nuclear power plants, and the safety design philosophy under hypothetical severe accidents.
  3. Understand atmospheric dispersion principles and the process of radionuclide release, and assessment of dose distribution and protection of the public. 
  4. Understand the innovative designs and concepts for new nuclear technologies. From the international point of view, explain the importance of nuclear power for achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
  5. Based on Taiwan's capabilities in mechanical design and construction, briefly introduce the future prospects of Taiwan's nuclear industry in the roles of SMRs and MMRs.
