• 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.
