PCTRAN is the most successful desk-top simulator for all types of light water nuclear reactors. Plant types include PWR, BWR and advanced AREVA EPR, Westinghouse AP1000 and GE ABWR and ESBWR. Simulation scope is extended to severe accidents and dose dispersion. Since its first introduction in 1985 by Micro-Simulation Technology, PCTRAN has been selected by IAEA as the training material for its annual Advanced Reactor Simulation workshop. Plant specific models were installed at nuclear power plants and institutions all over the world for practical application in training, analysis, probabilistic safety assessment and emergency exercise.
In 2007, three important expansions are introduced.
PCTRAN simulator package is positioned as a key tool to enlighten both existing industry companies and emerging institutions considering the nuclear option. Installed in hundreds of installations all over the world, it has a proven track record of training effectiveness, engineering analysis, probabilistic safety assessment and emergency preparedness.
Oak Ridge National Laboratory has acquired PCTRAN new reactor model
MST has delivered a new reactor PCTRAN model to the national lab's Advanced Reactor Systems and Systems Group. ARSS provides a wide range of support for analyzing, modeling, and controlling reactor power systems. The lab is commissioned by the US NRC for reviewing all vendors' submittals of new reactor designs. With their expertise and resource, PCTRAN will evolve into a major analytical and simulation tool in the development of advanced reactor systems.
MST has recently made a presentation to GE/Hitachi on its newly developed PCTRAN/ESBWR model. We made another presentation to the NRC's Technical Training Center in Chattanooga, Tennessee. A completely new generation of young engineers will enter the industry and get trained in traditional nuclear technology as well as new concepts in inherently safe and passive cooled Generation 3 plants. Both organizations are considering to use PCTRAN as a dynamic teaching tool for training their new comers to the industry. In this aspect PCTRAN has a proven track record. A good example is our PCTRAN/ABWR model having been used by Taiwan Power Company's Lungmen Project for years in the ABWR's pre-operation training and emergency preparedness.
AF-Colenco of Switzerland, our distributor in Europe, has entered agreements with a number of universities to license PCTRAN for their educational use. Significant discount is applied.
