The key reactor physics constraints on the NRP and how reactor safety systems protect against the associated limits being exceeded, and the physical consequences of their being breached

The appropriate models and experiments to study reactor physics issues. Appreciation of the significance of the results and how they are applied in core design and operation

The dynamic behaviour of the NRP, including the interaction of reactor physics and thermal hydraulics and how this relates to reactor stability

The through-life reactor physics behaviour of the NRP, including analysis of the measures used to achieve the desired lifetime and performance

Critically evaluate and compare the appropriateness of reactor physics models and procedures
