Conference ·
OSTI ID:6258413
In the TMI Action Plan (NUREG-0660), NRC listed various actions planned to upgrade nuclear power plant (NPP) simulators and their use in operator training programs. One was a review and update of the existing standard ANSI/ANS 3.5, Nuclear Power Plant Simulators for Use in Operator Training, followed by the issuance of a regulatory guide endorsing the revised standard. This paper summarizes results conclusions and recommendations of a study conducted by Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and consultants from General Physics Corp., Franklin Research Center, Memphis State University, and Analysis and Measurements Services in support of NRC's efforts to upgrade the existing standards and the use of simulators for training.
