FOREWORD

The IAEA has established a programme in nuclear reactor simulation computer programs to assist Member States in educating and training nuclear professionals in the operation and behaviour of nuclear power plants. The simulators enable hands-on training for nuclear professionals involved in teaching and training topics such as nuclear power plant design, safety, technology, simulation and operations. The simpler design of the simulators allows professionals to grasp the fundamentals without becoming lost in the details of a more complex full scope simulator. The objective is to provide, for various reactor types, insight and practice in reactor operational characteristics and their response to perturbations and accident situations.

Together with management and development, the IAEA regularly produces training material and provides training courses to assist professionals in Member States to understand the simulators and their associated technologies. This training is more cost effective and less time consuming than alternative methods and is highly suitable for Member States with limited resources.

This Exercise Handbook accompanies Training Course Series No. 65, Integral Pressurized Water Reactor Simulator Manual. It contains practical exercises as part of the educational and training material provided during IAEA training courses and workshops. The Manual provides an explanation of the theoretical concepts of integral pressurized water reactors and a description of the simulator’s features. The Exercise Handbook complements this by providing detailed, step by step operating instructions together with the required explanations to run various normal operations and transients in the simulator. The publications can be used both independently and together, and they serve as educational and training material for IAEA training courses and workshops. This publication provides comprehensive reference material to support human capacity building in all Member States improving their expertise in education and training related activities for small modular reactor technology.

The IAEA gratefully acknowledges the contribution of I. Parrado (Spain) to the preparation of this publication. The IAEA officer responsible for this publication was C. Batra of the Division of Nuclear Power.

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1. BACKGROUND

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has a suite of nuclear reactor simulation

computer programs to assist its Member States in education and training. The objective is to

provide, for a variety of advanced reactor types, insight and practice in-reactor operational

characteristics and their response to perturbations and accident situations. To achieve this, the

IAEA arranges for the supply and development of a suite of basic principles nuclear power

plant simulators which are available for free to Member States upon request and are intended

for educational purposes. The IAEA also provides associated training material, sponsors

training courses and workshops, and distributes the documentation and computer programs.

The use of basic principle simulators to aid in teaching complex system interactions can

considerably improve students’ comprehension and retention of engineering course materials.

In addition, the use of simulators on nuclear fundamentals type training courses can greatly

add to trainees’ understanding of reactor operation and the role of various systems.

The IAEA’s existing suite of basic principles simulators are currently based on a variety of

large scale, water cooled nuclear reactor technologies. The basic principle simulator helps in

demonstrating the essential physical processes as well as fundamental system engineering

concepts. This type of simulator also serves training objectives such as providing an overview

of plant behaviour or a basic understanding of the normal as well as abnormal operation

modes.

Such simulators may consist of complete primary and secondary circuits, sometimes with a

reduced number of loops or redundancies. The scope of simulation focusses on the main

systems where auxiliary or supporting systems may be neglected. The control room or panels

very often have a fundamentally different design in comparison with conventional control

room design.

The IAEA’s suite of simulators is used on personal computers to develop understanding of the

various reactor designs as well as their operational characteristics. They are intended for

nuclear professionals involved in teaching and training on topics related to nuclear power

plant design, safety, technology, simulation and operations; and could also be used, in some

cases, for a broad audience of both technical and non-technical personnel as introductory

educational tool. The simulators are not expected to produce accurate results but do

demonstrate realistic trends and transients in response to changes made by the user.

In recent years the IAEA has seen an increase in the participation of its Member States in its

programme for the technology development of small modular reactors. Various designs are

under development in several Member States. A large number of the designs that are in

development are light water cooled and moderated small integral pressurized water reactors

(iPWRs). Common features of iPWR designs include modularity, passive safety systems for

core and containment cooling, and integrated design — where most or all primary

components are located inside the reactor vessel.

1.2. OBJECTIVES

The objective of this exercise handbook is to provide a basic set of pratical exercises to

understand various normal operations as well as possible transients in this type of reactor. It

also serves as a step-by-step guidance document during the training courses. Full instructions

Page 11

on how to install the software and all of the background information is contained in the

accompanying Intergral Pressurized Water Reactor Simulator Manual (Training Course Series

No. 65).

1.3. SCOPE

This publication covers only a certain predefined list of standard operations and malfunction

transients. The simulator in itself is capable of simulating more transients and therefore users

can run various other transients depending upon his or her understanding level as well as the

capability of simulator. Sever accidents are out of scope of this simulator and therefore cannot

be simulated.

Most importantly, the responses manifested by the simulator, under accident situations,

should not be used for safety analysis purposes, despite the fact that they are realistic for

educational training.

1.4. STRUCTURE

The publication is divided into three sections. The first section provides the background

information along with the objectives, scope and structure of the document. The second and

third sections of this manual contain a set of exercises in normal and abnormal operation

respectively in order to help the user understand the working of an iPWR-SMR power plant.

Each exercise is made in the form of a table and contains five columns:

(a) Number of step in the exercise;

(b) Procedure step that indicates the user what has to be done;

(c) The display where the action has to be done;

(d) What is the expected response;

(e) A column where the user could indicate if the step has been done/succesful.

2. SIMULATOR EXERCISES FOR STANDARD OPERATIONS

This section contains the exercises required to allow the user to understand how to operate an

iPWR-SMR nuclear power plant under normal conditions.

In order to understand it, the following exercises are described:

1. Load maneuvering (10%) in turbine leading mode;

2. Load Maneuvering (10%) in reactor leading mode;

3. Reactor power decrease from 100% to 0% in turbine leading mode;

4. Reactor power rise from 0% to 100%;

5. Reactor trip and restart.
