This standard establishes the minimum requirements for nuclear power plant simulators for use in operator training and requalification programs. Simulators of test, mobile and research reactors, as well as reactors not subject to the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission licensing, and limited scope simulators intended for specialized training or familiarization are excluded. Minimum criteria are set for degree of simulation, performance and functional capability of the control room instrumentation and controls, but criteria for use of such simulators is not addressed in this standard. This standard applies to simulators placed in operation for use in operator training and requalification programs after the effective date of this standard.
