Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences

Students get some information about basic chemical processes which are relevant in running of nuclear power station, in relation to their studying aim. This subject is focused on problems of chemical processes in the nuclear energetics, there are also mentioned the chemical processes, fundamental for functioning of the power units burning the fossil fuels. The subject is draw up for students of department of Power Engineering , the first part of this subject is focused on repeating the basic chemical processes, to unify the student`s knowledge. During the studies students get the basic knowledge for the next studying and the other subjects especially in specialization Nuclear power.
