Technical Training Center Glass Panel Simulators

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing a presolicitation notice for a requirement entitled, “Technical Training Center Glass Panel Simulator.”

The NRC maintains four legacy hard panel nuclear reactor technology Technical Training Environment (TTE) including Westinghouse (WH), General Electric (GE), Combustion Engineering (CE) and Babcock & Wilcox (BW) designs at the NRC TTC location in Chattanooga, TN. The legacy TTEs feature physical and/or hard panel replicas of nuclear plant control room equipment including controls, meters, alarms, and displays, and provide a realistic control room environment for training NRC staff to support essential NRC missions such as operating reactor rulemaking, licensing, oversight, and incident response. However, the NRC legacy hard panel TTEs have several limitations. The TTEs are singular resources, are difficult and expensive to maintain and change, do not support remote training, are not portable, and lack the industry-standard tools of soft panel graphics.

A Glass Panel Simulator will address many of the legacy hard panel limitations and enhance NRC technical training by supporting additional simulator capabilities such as:

• Portable simulators (e.g. stand-alone simulators and mobile classroom training aids),

• Web-based simulator demonstrations,

• Multiple, simultaneously running simulator copies, and

• Integrated P&IDs and simulator soft panel displays.

Task 1: Westinghouse Piping and Instrumentation Diagram Graphics

Optional Task 2: General Electric Piping and Instrumentation Diagram Graphics

Optional Task 3: Combustion Engineering Piping and Instrumentation Diagram Graphics

Optional Task 4: Babcock & Wilcox Piping and Instrumentation Diagram Graphics

Task 5: Classroom Double Slice Glass Panel Simulator Hardware

Optional Task 6: Classroom Double Slice Glass Panel Simulator Hardware

Optional Task 7: Technical Support
