SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the development of a Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) simulator by a junior engineer in the nuclear industry. The simulator aims to provide a graphical interface to model the processes, regulations, and manual controls of a simplified 900 MW, 3-loop PWR power plant. The engineer possesses strong skills in process modeling, including core and heat transfer, and has access to necessary data such as regulation schemes and thermal characteristics. Collaboration is sought from individuals with programming, graphical interface design, and nuclear simulation expertise.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of PWR systems and processes
  • Proficiency in programming languages suitable for simulation (e.g., Python, C++)
  • Experience with graphical user interface (GUI) development
  • Knowledge of nuclear regulations and safety standards
NEXT STEPS
  • Research graphical interface development using frameworks like Qt or Tkinter
  • Explore nuclear simulation tools and libraries, such as OpenMC or RELAP5
  • Study heat transfer modeling techniques relevant to nuclear reactors
  • Investigate regulatory compliance for nuclear simulation software
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for nuclear engineers, software developers specializing in simulation, and anyone interested in the intersection of programming and nuclear technology.

I'm a french junior engineer in nuclear industry. Since few weeks, I'm thinking about develloping a little PWR simulator.

In a first time, the goal would be to create a program with graphical interface to simulate the process, the regulations and the manual control for a very simplified plant. The level of detail is to be defined.

The code used to create this simulator is to defined.

I have good skill in modelisation of process (core, heat transfer), and I can have all the required datas (regulation schemes, mechanical and thermal characteristics,...) for a 900 MW 3-loop type pwr power plant.

I'm looking for people who have skill in programing, graphical interface and nuclear simulation or all other ability related with this project.

If you are interested in this project, you can contact me by PM

Sounds cool, maybe something like http://esa21.kennesaw.edu/activities/nukeenergy/nuke.htm" but with more detail and technical accuracy?
