This paper presents the work being done at Houston Lighting and Power Company to verify the South Texas Project Electric Generating Station (STPEGS) simulator. The purpose of that work is to assure that the STPEGS simulator adequately reflects plant response during normal and abnormal transients. An enhanced understanding of the engineering and organizational needs of a simulator verification program is significant. This paper presents the techniques used to develop a best-estimate model. The best-estimate model generates plant response data for comparison with the STPEGS simulator. A typical licensing model is inadequate for this work because of the conservative assumptions in the model. The authors examine, in this paper, the interaction between the various groups responsible for simulator verification.
