Foreword to iaea tecdoc 1411 use of control room simulators for training of nuclear power plant personnel simulators provide operators an opportunity to learn and practice the abilities that are required in accident and infrequently used plant evolutions. No other control room console manufacturer has as much experience or knowledge of the intricate details that must be considered when undertaking a complex design such as this. Through its custom division winsted technical interiors winsted has upgraded control rooms in 1 3 of the nuclear power plants across the united states.
A modern approach is. Each work unit is operated and supervised by seated workers who specialize in their defined sector. A modern nuclear power plant control room design employs modular segments divided according to specific systems within the power plant such as a main control workstation electrical systems auxiliary systems etc.
To prepare for the grave responsibility of operating a nuclear power plant engineers at the pilgrim nuclear generating. Inside a nuclear control room. A nuclear power plant is a thermal power station in which the heat source is a nuclear reactor as is typical of thermal power stations heat is used to generate steam that drives a steam turbine connected to a generator that produces electricity as of 2018 the international atomic energy agency reported there were 450 nuclear power reactors in operation in 30 countries.
