Simulator Assessment

NRC-Based Assessment Methodology

📋
NRC IP71111.11 Appendix C
WSC performs simulator assessments using the Nuclear Regulatory Commission IP71111.11 Appendix "C" methodology — providing users with the basis required to develop a Technical Specification for the upgrade of an existing nuclear training simulator, and assessing the overall effectiveness of the training program.
01
Training program effectiveness

Assess the overall effectiveness of the simulator-based training program against regulatory and best-practice standards.

02
Simulator performance review

Identify software bugs, hardware deficiencies, model inaccuracies, and nagging issues degrading simulator fidelity or availability.

03
Technical Specification development

Develop a Technical Specification for the simulator upgrade — providing a structured roadmap for modernization and enhancement.

04
Standards compliance

Ensure the simulator meets the ANS 3.5 standard and all applicable regulatory requirements for nuclear training simulators.

🌐
Worldwide experience
WSC has provided assessment services in the US and worldwide — supporting the evaluation of training program and simulator effectiveness across nuclear power plant operators globally.
Upgrade Services

How WSC Can Support You

WSC provides a full spectrum of upgrade services — from resolving persistent simulator issues to complete re-hosting and modernization through the 3KEYMASTER™ real-time executive and Instructor Station.

Meet all simulator training needs

Ensure the simulator continues to meet the full range of operator training, qualification, and licensing requirements as plant and regulatory requirements evolve.

Assess training program effectiveness

Independent assessment of whether the simulator-based training program is achieving its intended learning outcomes and meeting regulatory standards.

Eliminate persistent simulator issues

Resolve nagging prolog issues, longstanding software bugs, and hardware deficiencies that reduce fidelity, availability, or instructor confidence in the simulator.

Model upgrades — engineering-grade replacement

Replace legacy process models with engineering-grade models to improve fidelity and extend the range of scenarios the simulator can realistically replicate.

Plant process computer & communication updates

Update plant process computer systems, supervision programs, and communication interfaces to remain aligned with the current plant configuration.

Distributed Control System (DCS) upgrades

Upgrade the simulator's DCS representation to reflect plant DCS changes — ensuring operators train on the same control environment they will operate in.

Simulator re-hosting & modernization

Full simulator re-hosting and modernization through the 3KEYMASTER™ real-time executive and Instructor Station — preserving proven models while refreshing the simulation platform.
