It is not meant as a complete simulator training system, but just as a proof of concept of what is possible.<br><br>It is still very much a work in progress but currently can simulate operation of a PWR reactor from mode 5 condition (cold shut down) until mode 1 (power operations) and then up to full load. Some of the areas\/items already implemented include;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>4-loop PWR reactor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pressuriser with heater and spray

control.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Estimation of criticality.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Effects of all components +\/- of reactivity (although still working to get the negative reactivity effects of Iodine\/Xenon accurate).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>4 x Steam Generators.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Emergency Cooling Water system, with cold leg accumulator, LP\/HP Emergency cooling pumps and containment spray
