Training simulator for nuclear power plant reactor coolant system and method

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4097460

A description is given of a method and system for simulating the dynamic real-time operation of a nuclear power plant wherein a plurality of remote control devices provides input data to a digital computer to calculate physical values corresponding to plant operation to operate indicating devices for monitoring the physical operation of the plant. The simulation includes the dynamic operation of the reactor coolant loops for normal, reverse, and natural coolant flow and corresponding heat transfer; also the simulation of the pressurizer in its solid, bubble, and transitional states together with its interaction with the reactor coolant loops.
