Required Simulator Performance Testing

Simulator Operability Testing Steady State Performance Transient Performance for a benchmark set of transients Record of the conduct of test and its evaluation maintained

Simulator Scenario-based Testing (SBT) Ensures the simulator is capable of producing the expected

reference unit response; using scenario validation process to ensure:

Scenario meets predetermined objectives Scenario includes appropriate instructor interfaces, operator actions,

and operator cues Simulator is capable of producing response without significant

discrepancies, or deviation from approved scenario sequence Data shall be acquired during scenario validation; results

documented

GSE Tools

SmartTemplate Generates the Template used by SmartTest in Attended /

Unattended Mode Template can be customized in Excel after creation SmartTemplate can import existing batch & CAEP files as well

as newly created SmartScenario Files SmartTest

Performs a single or group of tests Can be run in attended or unattended mode Automatically generates reports at completion of tests

SmartScenario Can import existing batch and CAEP files Scenario runs during the SmartTest so that user can monitor

progress

Use of Automated Tools at Surry

Attended Mode SBT Official ANSI Tests – Allows for proper PCS and Panel Switch

Check Any Special test that does not have a specific end time

Non-Attended Mode Verification Testing on Non-integrated Computer Multiple ANSI Tests on Non-integrated Computer Malfunction Testing for Alarm Verification

SBT Automated Report Quick / Easy / User Friendly Contains all required components of NEI-09-09 R1 Use Pre-determined Variable List
