Thermal Power Simulation of Nuclear Reactor in Labview Environment

Simulators are widely used in nuclear industry, both for powerplant design and for operator’ s training purposes. Most of simulators are implemented in a compact, non-editable and area-specified software, customized for a given type of powerplant. Although there are several types of simulation software, there is currently no solution that could perform a more general and customizable way to simulate the thermal power variation of a nuclear reactor. This paper aims to present modeling, simulating and control implementation of the thermal power of nuclear reactors.
