Nuke plant simulator program 1

[frankiee]

Are there any trial programs on nuclear plants or even steam plants out there.
Also are there any reasonably priced home version simulators out there.
Steam or nuke plant, either one
Thank you

A simple google search on nuclear plant simulator came up with a number of hits. Never having used/played any of them, I can't speak to their accuracy. However, anything simulated only through use of a computer is not very realistic.

I'm 12+ years removed from nuclear, but i used codes such as RELAP, ARROTTA, NESTLE, SIMULATE, Etc. in college. The Studvik company may be able to help you, but I doubt any of their software is available for a trial or "home versions."

In order to obtain the simulation program(s),download the acknowledgment for the simulator. The completed form should be sent to the competent official authority (Ministry of Foreign Affairs, National Atomic Energy Authority, or to the applicant’s Member State Permanent Mission to the IAEA in Vienna, Austria) for transmission to Mr. J. Cleveland, the International Atomic Energy Agency, P.O. Box 100, Vienna International Centre, A-1400 Vienna, Austria.

That is an awesome site codeJackal

I did not send away for the sim program yet but whenI do, and I get a responce back, I will post back.
That site really drove the nail all the way home.
Thanks
