Venhuizen, J R

The LOFT Engineering Simulator represents an attempt to develop a simulation with sufficient physical detail (solution of the conservation equations) for moderate accident simulation, but which will still run in real time and provide an interface for the operator to interact with the model. The LOFT Engineering Simulator is presently being used to assist the Augmented Operator Capability (AOC) Program. Part of the AOC program has developed techniques to support the Human Engineering Research for evaluating graphics displays in a nuclear reactor control room. The LOFT Engineering Simulator offers: (1) a unique means of supplying plant equivalent simulation data to drive the various graphics dislays under consideration; and (2) a technique to test and evaluate control strategy. This report describes the hardware and software used for the LOFT Engineering Simulator, including the graphics display computer.
