Loviisa nuclear power plant&nbsp;(VVER-440) simulator LOKS2 is based on parallel computed Apros models that simulate more than 50 process systems including reactor, primary circuit, secondary circuit and containment. The models contain relevant electrical systems including external grid connections, emergency diesel generators and house load network. Detailed plant automation models enable connectivity to new automation systems which can be provided by suppliers as external models (virtual I&amp;C).Models and virtual I&amp;C are connected to touch screen panels which emulate HW panels at the plant. All renewed HMI systems are identical to the plant. Severe accident management panels can be utilized since the integrated severe accident module Apros SA enables simulating the most important severe accident phenomena in real time.In addition to operator training, the models are utilized in automation renewal projects and part-task simulators. The overall functionality of new automation has been assessed efficiently when connected to the simulated plant. The detailed process models enable running transients and testing degraded modes with plant operators on simulators. Errors in automation system design or implementation are discovered in an early phase and software and hardware modifications based on simulator findings are made. Part-task simulators utilize the same models in specific training.

2021 28th International Conference on Nuclear Engineering (ICONE28)

Supporting the need among researchers worldwide for additional online and multimedia content, ASME now offers the ASME Conference Video Collection. This platform will collect and provide long-term access to conference presentation videos, encompassing all technology areas within ASME's technical conference and events program. About 30,000-40,000 engineers across all mechanical engineering and related disciplines participate in ASME conferences each year. This includes authors of approximately 6,000 to 8,000 technical papers published by ASME, the majority of whom also submit video presentations for our virtual conferences. The video collection will be available as an add-on to existing product packages or as a separate subscription.
