  • 1. Technology Development of California, Inc., Santa Clara

Description

The Nuclear Plant Data Bank (NPDB) is a computer-based system that organizes a nuclear power plant's technical data, providing mechanisms for data storage, retrieval, and computer-aided engineering analysis. It has the specific objective to describe thermohydraulic and containment systems in order to support: rapid information retrieval and display and thermohydraulic analysis modelling. The system operates so that NO computer programming knowledge or skill is required by the user. Therefore, users of the system can focus their attention on data handling and analysis problems. A user only needs to know what data-oriented results he wants to accomplish, and the Nuclear Plant Data Bank (NPDB) system walks him through the steps to reach his goal
