A history of developing and applying simulators at Research and Development Technology Institute

Research simulators providing for studying into the potentially dangerous modes during NPP testing, verification of new control algorithms and principles, as well as for personnel training and having higher accuracy as compared with educational simulators are discussed. The common computering system joining different computers into local network is used as the basis for research simulators of different NPPs. The computering system commumication with consoles is realized via fast-response unified data transmission system. The information-searching systems for teacher and students, the subsystem for operator action control and estimation, the database of initial and emergency states and the subsystem for operator action registration are developed
