  • Reactor vessel level 2

Objectives

2. State the significance of superheated conditions in the reactor coolant system.
3. State the key operator errors that contributed to core damage during the Three Mile Island

((TMI)) accident.

4. Describe the event that initiated the core damage sequence at TMI.
5. Discuss industry and regulatory changes that resulted from the accident at TMI.
6. Describe the differences in technology that make U.S. commercial reactors not susceptible to an event similar to the Chernobyl accident.
