PC BASED REACTOR SIMULATOR LAB FOR EDUCATION AND TRAINING PURPOSES AT MALAYSIAN NUCLEAR AGENCY

摘要

Malaysian Nuclear Agency has established a Nuclear Reactor Simulator Lab in 2016 for education and training purposes. Two labs were established, one with PC based Reactor Simulator and the other was Part Task Simulator based on TRIGA Reactor console. A PC based reactor simulator consists of two operator console and one supervisor console with large display panel using PCTRAN AP1000, TRIGA and IAEA NPP simulator software. Those simulators can provide basic understanding in the operational of NPP, control systems, safety systems and simulate the transients and accidents behavior of the common nuclear power plant. While a Part Task Simulator was reassembled from the previous PUSPATI TRIGA Reactor console. In 2014, the existing reactor console was completely disassociated and replaced by new digital control system (REDICS) with a technology transfer from South Korea. The existing reactor console was reassembled again and merely replicated the new digital console for education and training purposes. The main purpose of this simulator is operator training and a dynamic test to validate the control logics in-reactor regulating system (RRS). In 2012, Malaysian Nuclear Agency has started its Education and Training to support human capacity and capability development in Nuclear Power Programme in the country. Several activities have been organized, including, Education and Training to Support Nuclear Power Program for APEC Economies, Nuclear School Experiments on Reactor Physics and Neutron Application for Asia-Pasific Region, Lab Experiment for local universities and more others. The Nuclear Reactor Simulator Lab for Education and Training was ready and is planned to include in the next training to cater for the educational programme in the country.
