Simulator
Reactor Control Panel:
The Reactor Control Panel contains all of the controls and indications
you'll need to startup the reactor and bring the plant to full power. Some
of the plant systems operated from the simulation Control Panel include:
 | Reactor Process Instrumentation (reactor pressure,
temperature, water level, etc) |
| Control Rod System (control rod selection, insertion,
withdrawal) |
| Control Rod Sequence Control System (rod selection and
movement restraints) |
| Neutron Monitoring Systems (reactor power and period
indication) |
| Reactor Protection System (manual and automatic reactor scram) |
| Reactor Feedwater System (Feed Pump controls) |
| Reactor Water Level Control System (manual and
automatic level control) |
| Reactor Recirculation System (Recirculation Pump speed
control) |
| Turbine Generator Systems (turbine runup,
synchronization, loading) |
| Emergency Core Cooling Systems |
In addition, the following simulator functions are
provided from the Reactor Control Panel screen:
| View and/or print the Power to Flow Operating Map |
| View and/or print the Rod Sequence Checkoff Sheet |
| Display the ECCS System Control Panel (from the 100%
Power Initialization Condition) |
| Save plant conditions as a custom Initial Condition
(IC) |
Initialization Conditions:
From the Simulator Menu, the simulation can be initialized at any one of six
preset conditions called Initialization Conditions or “IC’s.”
Although a startup of the plant to 100% power can be initiated and continued
from any IC, by initializing at intermediate IC's of interest, the time
consuming steps between IC conditions can be bypassed.
The six IC’s are:
IC 1 Source Range
IC 2 Intermediate Range
IC 3 Turbine Startup
IC 4 20% Power
IC 5 40% Power
IC 6 100% Power
Custom IC’s - In addition, you can select any one of 10
custom IC’s of your own. As you operate the simulator and change plant
conditions, you can click on the SAVE IC pushbutton at the top of the
Reactor Control Panel to save a “snapshot” of the existing conditions. The
IC is then given a description you provide for later access by clicking
CUSTOM IC on the Simulator Menu. |
