A description is given of a training simulator for the full-scope real- time dynamic operation of a nuclear power plant which utilizes apparatus that includes control consoles having manual and automatic devices corresponding to simulated plant components and indicating devices for monitoring physical values in the simulated plants. A digital computer configuration is connected to the control consoles to calculate the dynamic real-time simulated operation of the plant in accordance with the simulated plant components to provide output data including data for operating the control console indicating devices. The plant simulation is modularized into various plant components or component systems. Simulated plant components or component systems are described by a mathematical equation embodied in a computer program which accepts data from other simulated plant components or systems, calculates output values including values which are used as inputs for simulator calculators by other simulated plant components or systems, and responds in a manner similar to that of its corresponding physical entity in both transient and steady states.
