Rosenergoatom, the nuclear power plant operator subsidiary of state nuclear corporation Rosatom, has given its permission for personnel to be trained using the new equipment.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Formerly known as the Moscow Engineering Physics Institute (MEPhI), the university was renamed in 2009\u00a0and reformed to incorporate a number of other educational establishments. While partly funded by state nuclear corporation Rosatom, it is the responsibility of the Federal Education Agency.<\/p>\n<p>The university said on 19\u00a0July that the simulator, known as PMT-3\u00a0by its official name, was created by its Automatics Department and is aimed at plant operating personnel \u201cto acquire the expertise, knowledge and skills necessary to carry out their daily duties to the highest standards\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The simulator includes a \u201cfull-scale imitator\u201d of the control units of the third reactor of the Rostov plant and \u201ccomputer modelling of essential components\u201d, including communication, control and video surveillance systems. The simulator also has work stations for instructors, the university said.<\/p>\n<p>The simulator\u2019s software \u201cmodels in real time the physical processes of the technological systems\u201d of an operating nuclear power unit. \u201cIn particular, PMT-3\u00a0fully simulates the control unit of Rostov NPP as well as real operations fulfilled by it. Moreover, the simulator can model neutron-physical and technological processes in the equipment of the nuclear power unit and perform all normal and abnormal operations, including modes with equipment failures, design accidents and beyond-design basis events\u201d, the university said.<\/p>\n<p>Launching the new simulator will enable the plant\u2019s operators \u201cto significantly increase the safety and efficiency of the third unit\u2019s operations and provide quality training and retraining of operating personnel to work with high-tech equipment\u201d, it said.<\/p>\n<p>The Rostov plant is located on the banks of the Tsimlyansk reservoir, nearly 14\u00a0km (8\u00a0miles) from the city of Volgodonsk. Four 1000\u00a0MWe VVER pressurized water reactors have been planned at the Rostov site (formerly known as Volgodonsk) since the early 1980s. Construction of units 1\u00a0and 2\u00a0began promptly, but progress faltered. Units 1\u00a0and 2\u00a0eventually entered commercial operation in March 2001\u00a0and October 2010, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>Unit 3\u00a0was connected to the grid in December 2014, while the reactor pressure vessel was installed at unit 4\u00a0last December. Unit 4\u00a0is expected to start operations next year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An operator training simulator developed by the National Research Nuclear University has been launched at the Rostov nuclear power plant in Russia.
