Revised Scope (pending approval of ANS-21 & NFSC):

This standard establishes the functional requirements for full scope nuclear power plant control room simulators that are subject to U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) regulation for use in operator training and examination. The standard also establishes criteria for the scope of simulation, performance, and functional capabilities of nuclear power plant control room simulators.

This standard does not establish criteria for the use of simulators in operator training programs.

A Full History of Full Scope NuclearPower Plant (NPP) Simulators as relatedto the ANSI/ANS-3.5 Standards

Earliest NPP Simulators were constructed upon specifications only (through the '70s) General Electric (Dresden 2) Babcock and Wilcox (Rancho Seco) Combustion Engineering (Calvert Cliffs) Westinghouse (Zion) Indian Point 2 (Consolidated Edison of New York)

Page 13: Power Plant Simulation Conference 2011 Tampa, Florida February 16, 2011 James B. Florence ANS-3.5 Chair.

The age of utility-owned Simulators began in the late '70s (ConEd – Indian Point 2)

The '80s was the time of a utility-owned Simulator for every unique reference unit

Simulators for the new Reactor phase are being purchased within the Nuclear Steam Supply System contract (all COLs applications are referenced to ANSI/ANS-3.5-1998)

New Reactor phase of Simulators are scheduled for delivery in order that operators can be trained and licensed before criticality
