The final of the case championship dedicated to a significant date — the 80th anniversary of the Russian nuclear industry — was held at the Higher School of Nuclear and Thermal Energy of SPbPU. The event was organized by the scientific and technical department of Rosatom Polytechnic students with the support of Atomenergoproekt.
This year, participants were offered a technical case based on real engineering tasks that specialists in the field of designing nuclear power plants work with. Atomenergoproekt experts developed a task that required deep knowledge of heat engineering, safety systems, and analysis of design solutions.
Students had to complete the following tasks:
to develop a set of criteria for comparative evaluation of passive heat removal systems in two nuclear power unit projects – V-392M and V-491; to justify the choice of suitable parameters for assessing efficiency and reliability; to apply engineering methods and software for analysis; to present a technically competent, logically coherent and justified solution.
The teams had to demonstrate not only theoretical knowledge, but also the ability to think like an engineer, perform critical analysis, work with regulatory documentation and open sources.
Six teams from Polytechnic University and other universities worked hard on the case for a week. The final stage — defense of solutions — became the culmination of the championship. Participants presented their approaches, conclusions and justifications to a professional jury.
The work was assessed by leading specialists of Atomenergoproekt: 2nd category design engineer Alexander Moloskin, laboratory head Alexander Anishchenko and chief expert Andrey Mitryukhin. The jury also included experts from the Institute of Power Engineering – Director of the Higher School of Nuclear and Thermal Energy Alexander Kalyutik and Associate Professor of the Higher School of Atomic and Thermal Energy Irina Paramonova. The judges noted the difficult choice of winners.
The teams demonstrated a good level of preparation. Some decisions were unexpected for us, which makes this format of interaction even more valuable. I hope we will be able to consolidate the practice of such championships in the future, – said Alexander Moloskin.
The winner of the case championship was the team “MeV” (3rd year, SPbPU). The second place was taken by the team “Obe gulls” (4th year, SPbPU). The third place was taken by the team VaultBoyFanClub (1st year SPbPU and the Admiral S. O. Makarov State University of Maritime and Inland Shipping).
