Prepared By: Stephen Yu, Livia Drennan and Michael Soulard
35th Annual Conference of the Canadian
Nuclear Society

2015 May 31 –June 3
Several EC6 design changes have significant impact on the Main Control Room
Control Panels
soft panels driven from the simulator
Use touch screen technology to enable the user to change panel parameters and monitor data
quality is such that there are no perceptible differences when compared to the look and function of the actual control panels
Uses of MCR Mock-uo
EC6
Design concept evaluations of control room wide digitization
User testing of MCR changes from new systems (eg EHRS)
Embalse Refurbishment
Validation of MCR changes
Qinshan PDS upgrade
Testing of displays from ACCIS upgrade
Darlington SDS Computer Replacement
User testing of new displays
Co-operation with University of Toronto
Testing of concepts resulting from Large Screen Display Development project.
Marketing Demonstrations for prospective clients, partners and other visitors
Familiarization of design engineers with plant operation
Potential use of this facility to reduce reliance of real time plant simulator to evaluate design changes by Operating NPPs.
