Summary and Conclusion
Many IAEA
Member States have an interest in the development of nuclear
power for electric generation and heat production. A desk-top
nuclear plant simulator for the principle types of water cooled
reactors (PWR, BWR, PHWR and advanced LWR) could form a key element
for the education of nuclear engineers.
The IAEA has sponsored a program, by introducing a desk-top
simulator for generic nuclear plants in the size range of 600
MWe suitable for these countries. An advanced PWR model was presented
with verification work conducted for a medium sized LOCA. The
results are generally consistent with predictions using very
detailed thermalhydraulics codes. The ARS simulator is planned
to be used in a IAEA sponsored training workshop and will be
distributed upon request to interested Member States.
