The role of simulation in CANDU 3 fuel handling control system design
Description
This paper describes the role of simulation in the development of the CANDU 3 fuel handling system. The CANDU 3 fuel handling differs from CANDU 6 in that there is only one fuelling machine instead of two, and a distributed control system instead of a central computer control system. The aim of the simulation program was to obviate the need for a full prototype of the fuel handling system. Simulation involved a combination of test rigs and mathematical models for the drives and controls. 6 figs
