Abstract :
The advanced computer architecture, specially designed for high-speed and low-cost digital simulation of complex systems, has been combined with six mathematical modeling principles to provide a convenient, interactive engineering plant analyzer for nuclear power plants. Simulation needs of the nuclear industry are discussed, and the architectural and mathematical modeling principles are presented. Various features of the analyzer are highlighted.<>
