EMC for Nuclear Power Facilities

Date and Location: TBA

Location

Washington Laboratories Ltd.

7560 Lindbergh Drive, Gaithersburg, MD 20879

301-216-1500

Instructor
Steve Ferguson

Course Description

This workshop provides practical information for professionals developing equipment and those responsible for EMI control in nuclear energy power plants. This course provides fundamental product design guidance along with detailed information on developing comprehensive test procedures and the selection of applicable requirements. In addition to discussion of the basic design principles, qualification testing methods are reviewed to better understand how the product will be evaluated and how the design concepts support compliance. Critical to equipment qualification and placement is the understanding of the Electromagnetic (EM) environment. This workshop covers facility EM mapping and how to understand and interpret the mapping results to mitigate risk when locating new equipment in the plant environment.  

Who Should Attend

This course has been designed to address the practical aspects of EMC Design and qualification. Those best suited to attend are engineers and technicians involved in equipment planning, design, installation and commissioning, such as:

  • Test & Qualification Engineers

  • Test Technicians

  • I&C Design Engineers

  • Anyone who needs an understanding of EMI and power facility implications
