Generic PWR Simulation Suite for Nuclear Training Improvement after Fukushima

With the rapid development of nuclear power in recent years, the problem of Human resources shortages becomes more and more seriously. There will be a large number of people working in the nuclear power field and their technical level and safety awareness are closely related to the safety of the nuclear power plants. As a consequence, the training quality is receiving more and more attention. In the last years, Generic PWR simulator is playing a more and more important role in nuclear operation training. At the same time, due to the Fukushima Daiichi accident took place in 2011, the importance of reinforcing the training in safe operation of nuclear power plant is increasing, particularly in training in operation under severe accident conditions. Tecnatom developed severe accident module based on MAAP and also some emergency support tools, with its integration in the Generic PWR simulator, which is of great help for the training on severe accident phenomenology and emergency management.
