Beyond Training
From Training – Plant Referenced Simulators – 10 CFR 55
• Respond Same as Plant/ Using Plant Procedures
To Deeper Insights
– Real-time, whole plant, dynamic model
… already have a “Digital Twin”

"There's a way to do it better—find it.“ - Thomas Edison
What Has Changed … Why Now?
• Cost Effective Computing Power
• Efficiency demands / “Deliver the Nuclear Promise”
• Deeper Insights Available With Flexible and Expandable Platform
– Engineering Grade Codes in the Simulator• RELAP (RELAP5-HD™)
– INL code used by utilities for safety analysis
• MAAP (DesignEP™ / PSA-HD™)– EPRI code used for Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA)

Thermal Power ROI Examples
• Simulator Based Design … efficiency
• Virtual Commissioning … validation
Pumps and PipingTransmitter Location
DCS Control and Plant Trip Logic HMI / HSI
Eliminate Near Misses
Errors Detected – Time Saved – Cost Eliminated
11
Thermal Power ROI Examples
Post Commissioning DCS Code Transfer
12
Nuclear ROI Examples
• Simulator Based Design
Nuclear New Build – AP1000
Simulator Supervisor (AP1000)“Several hundred I&C issues have been identified in the non-safety and safety systems and fed back to OEM for correction in the AP1000 design.”

Nuclear ROI Examples
• Virtual Commissioning
Digital Turbine Control
Installed on Virtual Sim Turbine Control Upgrade Final Install on Simulator
HMI Verification Operator FamiliarizationProcedure Validation
Control Panel HFE Evaluation Plant Response
14
Nuclear ROI Examples
• Virtual Commissioning
Digital Feedwater Project
Simulator Engineering prior to FW Mod– Installed prior to DCS mod in plant to support training
– Conducted plant system testing using simulator
– Found several control scheme issues
– Allowed plant to delay install and avoiding an expensive extended outage
