Simulating an RBMK-1500 like the one in Ignalina

[KriegerTomate]

I have set myself a project on making a simulation of the RBMK-1500 at the Ignalina NPP.
i know this will take a very long time to do but i have hit a wall it seems.
i cannot find any real close up photos / diagrams of the control room panels, anunciators, buttons etc. Does anyone know where i can find such diagrams to "rebuild" the control room??

Just curious. Is the goal to calculate the physics behind the system? Or to do a "Hollywood" and make something the looks like the panel?

Even the Hollywood would be quite a task to get accurately. Many of the lights and indicators would only happen in specific combos or sequences. This annuciator will not happen unless this dial goes into that range and so on. This light will be red until this pressure/temperature/signal happens. And many many others. To get it correct you would need some specific manuals. And even then there might well be some situations where the wording is less accurate than it should be.

Perhaps book a tour on https://www.litwildtravel.com/iae-simulator (if that is still possible) would be a good start for either approaches (NPP system sim vs. operating room procedure sim). I assume being able to read Russian/Lithuanian will be a large benefit no matter what and that tourist visits to the site may be impacted by the upcoming decommissioning of the two cores scheduled to begin in 2027 (and, as I understand it, continue through 2038 and possibly later).
