This thesis deals with the description of primary and secondary circuit of nuclear power plant with reactor VVER-400. Moreover, this thesis describes nuclear safety, its particular factors, and also international nuclear event scale. It is followed by a description of companies playing a significant role in the field of nuclear safety and a close attention is paid to SÚJB. In a section dedicated to nuclear safety, the focus is on events which can occur in nuclear power plant. In addition, the accident Large Break LOCA is described in detail. The practical part deals with the description and instructions to simulator PCTran developed by Micro-Simulation Technology. In the last part, there is an analysis of selected parameters which are simulated in simulator PCTran, parameters simulated in simulator RELAP5 5 and also the calculation of the temperature parameters of fuel TVSA-T and their simulation.

Nuclear energy in Czech republic
Říha, Tomáš ; Bogdálek, Jan (referee) ; Fiedler, Jan (advisor)
The thesis deals with role of nuclear power in the Czech Republic. It analyses the contemporary condition of Czech power plant engineering and predicts its evolution up to the year 2020. It compares possible ways of development and evaluates its viability, political and energy safety and the impact on our environment. The life-prolongation of nuclear power plants and the potential construction of new facilities is taken into consideration. It shows the history of the nuclear power plant engineering in former Czechoslovakia and the problem of nuclear waste is mentioned too. Thesis provides a complex overview of the given topic and emphasizes the subsequent development of the nuclear power plant engineering as the essential part of the power mix.

Provisions for mitigation of consequences in case of major accidents in GFR nuclear reactors
Mlčúch, Adam ; Suk, Ladislav (referee) ; Martinec, Jiří (advisor)
This thesis deals with the severe accident of the gas-cooled fast reactor GFR. At the beginning of the study there is a review of the gas-cooled fast reactor subject. Next part is focused on description of possible solutions for severe accidents with emphasis on the solution applied in the Generation III+ reactors. Chapters that deal with material and thermal balance with severe accident of GFR demonstration unit, along with the chapter which analyses features of the corium, create a basis for the conceptual design of core catcher of GFR demonstration unit, which forms the final part of this thesis.

Concept of a small nuclear reactor for the heat supply purposes
Bobčík, Marek ; Skála, Zdeněk (referee) ; Martinec, Jiří (advisor)
The objective of this diploma thesis is to assess the suitability of a small nuclear reactor for the purpose of heat supply in small towns and cities. First, all the heat demands of these towns and cities are analysed. Then, a small nuclear reactor to serve these needs is designed and a computational model for burn-up fuel is created. The thesis aims to propose a design of a new heat exchanger. Economic and environmental criteria are taken into account as well and including safety measures. The outcome of this thesis is an evaluation of the whole concept with respect to potential future implementation.
