This lecture covers the fundamental principles of nuclear engineering, including safety systems, reactor design, and accident management procedures. Topics include reactor safety principles, relevant radionuclides, and components of safety barriers. The instructor discusses the importance of decay heat, safety analysis assumptions, and the Defense-in-Depth concept. The lecture also explores fuel cladding failure criteria, reactivity feedbacks, and the influence of rod ejection time on reactor behavior.
