An Interactive Computer-Based Training Aid for Nuclear Reactor Refuelling Operations.
Abstract:
An interactive computer-based training aid is being developed for operator training in emergency recognition and response to events involving loss-of-coolant during refuelling operations for the NRU nuclear research reactor.
The training aid incorporates both conceptual and functional training components. Conceptual training consists of sequenced presentations of text, graphics and animations to explain the fuelling-system configuration, operations, abnormal events, and recovery procedures. Functional training consists of procedural practice with an interactive simulation of refuelling operations presented on a multi-window display.
This paper outlines the project objectives, discusses the approach taken to characterize the training material, describes key features of the training aid and relates our experience in coupling hypermedia and knowledge-based tools for the implementation of an interactive training simulation.
