The excellence of today's technique for plant and fuel process simulators (both in hardware and software) has reached a level that permits a multitude of additional applications beyond the traditional educational purpose. A duplex real-time simulation system, developed by Studsvik, representing the dynamics of a nuclear power plant and the performance of the fuel pins, may be utilized for a number of different important applications. The plant process simulator (Studsvik simulator) and the fuel pin process simulator (INTERPIN-FRPS) have been developed independently and may be operated on an individual basis. However, the combination of the two simulators, as established, implies two major advantages: The hardware (computer and graphics) can be saved, and the Studsvik simulator, particularly its core model, will serve the INTERPIN-FRPS with the necessary and accurate dynamic real-time input data for any local position of the fuel pins in the reactor core.
