12、r Use in Operator Training and Examination,” ANSI0ANS-3.5-2009.!The nuclear power industry is currently in a mature phase of operation withencouraging successes in operating license extensions. In addition to life exten-sion activity, there is renewed interest in new construction of nuclear powerpla

13、nts. This fifth revision of the 1979 original standard continues in the philos-ophy of further addressing issues related to maintaining simulators throughoutthe life of commercial nuclear power plants. This revision of the standard doesnot preclude applying the functional requirements and criteria o

14、f this standardto next-generation reactors.ThefirstANS-3.5standard,publishedinJanuary1979,providedessentialrequire-ments for the acquisition of full-scope simulators to support operator training pro-grams. The secondANS-3.5 standard, published inApril 1981, further delineatedspecification requiremen

15、ts. Improvements in testing methods and overall consis-tency were subsequently included in the thirdANS-3.5 standard, published in Oc-tober 1985. The fourth ANS-3.5 standard, published in March 1993, introduced anew testing methodology and processes that effectively integrated training pro-cesses wi

16、th simulator testing and configuration management processes. The fifthANS-3.5 standard, published inApril 1998, further refined the integration of thetraining scenario validation process with the simulator testing process.As the industry matures and performance improves, plants routinely remainonlin

17、e throughout a fuel cycle. This provides fewer operational experience oppor-tunities previously afforded to licensed operators. Excellent plant performancehas also resulted in a more vital role for the simulator in providing operatorswith experience previously obtained in the actual plant. As a resu

18、lt, the impor-tance of a thoroughly tested simulator in providing a high quality training toolcannot be overemphasized.As industry performance continues to improve, accredited operator training pro-grams become a valuable component of a comprehensive simulator test program.This standard recognizes t

19、he current synergy between the traditional simulatortesting processes and training processes that may be used to complement anoverall simulator test program. This revision also recognizes recent changes inU.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission regulations that eliminated formal simu-lator certification

20、submittal requirements and allows applicants for an operatorlicense to meet experience eligibility requirements on the reference unit simula-tor. The advent of increased regulator and industry oversight group scrutiny ofsimulators also influences this revision. The working group provided formalinput

21、 to the regulatory process to facilitate consistent perspectives.In addition to enhanced readability accomplished by professional technical edi-tors, users of this revision will find improvements and clarifications in theperformance testing methodology, new sections addressing simulator core perfor-

22、mance testing and post-event simulator testing, and other important guidancerequired to ensure accurate simulation for operator training.When a simulator is used for operator training and examination, it is expected tomeet the requirements set forth in this standard.Acknowledgements:This review and
