The purpose of the 600 MW(e) advanced PWR reactor NPP simulator is
educational to provide a training tool for university professors and engineers
involved in teaching topics related to the advanced passive PWR reactor. Nuclear
engineers, scientists and trainers familiar with the conventional PWR would find
this simulator useful in broadening their understanding of the advanced PWR
characteristics, transients, power plant dynamics, and passive safety features.
As such, this simulator is currently used in the IAEA Workshop "NPP Simulators
for Education".
The simulator has sufficient simulation fidelity to provide realistic PWR plant
responses during normal operations and accident situations. More importantly,
Mode K Reactor Control Strategy is simulated in details, which allows double
closed loop control of (1) reactor coolant temp (2) axial power difference, with
the use of:
Heavy-worth control rods bank dedicated to axial shape control.
Light-worth control rods bank for controlling coolant temp at setpoint.
Auto regulation of both the reactivity and power distribution - permits
load-follow operations (frequency control) to respond to grid conditions,
with minimum use of Boron.
The PWR simulator also has a user-machine interface that mimics the actual
control panel instrumentation. More importantly, it allows users interactions with
the simulator during the operation of the simulated PWR plant.
The current configuration of the Simulator is able to respond to the operating
conditions normally encountered in power plant operations, as well as to many
malfunctions, as summarized in the following Table.

The interaction between the user and the simulator is via a combination of
monitor displays, mouse and keyboard. Parameter monitoring and plant operator
controls, implemented via the plant display system at the generating station ,are
represented in a virtually identical manner on the simulator. Control panel
instruments and control devices, such as push-buttons and hand-switches, are
shown as stylized pictures, and are operated via special pop-up menus and
dialog boxes in response to user inputs.
