TRAINING TOOLS & PROGRAMS
Learning tools for Universities and Industry nuclear initial training
The integrated system developed by CORYS addresses the objective of reaching enhanced pedagogical objectives in the understanding of physical phenomena, plant process and cycle events of a PWR nuclear plant. These simulators provide a wide range of hands-on practical exercises to be combined with any kind of training content.
CORYS training suite covers most of the needs of a nuclear training academy or university offering nuclear engineering degrees. These tools can also be used to train any person working in the nuclear industry in order to improve general knowledge of nuclear power plant design and operations.
CORYS training suite comprises 3 off-the-shelf set of simulation tools which enhances training people from power plant normal operations through severe accidents and up to I&C regulation design
Training courses
PWR basics principles
(3 days)
Objective : Understand the PWR general design choices
Pressurized Water Reactor design principle presentation, sustained by lab work by running reactor normal operation on C-1300 training simulator.
PWR normal operation
(5 days)
Objective : Understand the main step of PWR normal operations
Understanding the Pressurized Water Reactor design principle and normal operation, knowledge taken further by running lab work on C-1300 training simulator.
PWR abnormal operation
(2 days)
Objective : Understand the main step of PWR abnormal operations
Operating a Pressurized Water Reactor under accidental circumstances by running transients on the X-1300 training simulator and comprehending safety systems design through presentations
PWR C1300
Common – normal operation
Dedicated to PWR physics principles and normal operations
Basic principles from cold shutdown to stretch out operations
Training objectives
- Acquire Reactor design knowledge
- Master PWR normal operation
- Understand physics and neutronics effects
Understand and master all PWR principles and concepts!
PWR C-1300 is operated without following procedures. Discover all the main steps of a PWR cycle (shutdown states, criticality, synchronization to the grid, stretch-out operation). I&C safety system has been simplified to allow a try and improve approach on basic operations.
PWR X1300
Extended – accidental operations
Focus on abnormal procedures and accident handling training
Accidental situations and I&C detailed design
Training objectives
- Understand Reactor Safety System design principle
- Master main control channel principles and I&C design
- Understand PWR abnormal and accidental operations
Larger scope, dedicated to accident management training
PWR X-1300 is a more advanced simulator that requires the use of operating procedures. It is designed to go through main accidental situations and to discover the plant auxiliaries. Its I&C structure is close to an actual one.
A dedicated I&C HMI enables understanding all principles and studying I&C tuning impact on systems behavior.
