S3R enables cycle-specific core modeling on the training simulator in an easy-to-use, easy-to- update manner.
Modern training simulators require high fidelity to the plant and real-time response. Cycle-specific data and engineering-grade models helps meet these requirements.
S3R provides high-fidelity core modeling with real-time response by using the same physics methods found in SIMULATE3, the modeling tool used by the fuels engineers for core design.
S3R uses the same proven numerical methods as the Studsvik core modeling software used by core designers and reactor engineers.
Since S3R models each fuel assembly and all instrumentation explicitly in three dimensions, operators are able to train on a model that exactly matches the plant conditions.
