An Investigation of MMS Application to Qualify and Improve Training Simulator Models

Notwithstanding the existence of a standard power plant training simulator acceptance criteria document (1), there is a continuing industry dialogue on the needs and merits of various improvements in simulator qualification. One recurring theme addresses the need to correlate model qualification requirements with training requirements. The basic objective of this project is the development of such an improved model qualification methodology, and identification of model development needs, based on this training objective perspective.
