The virtual reality fuel movement simulator is an initiative that improves the capacities of the operating personnel, through a meticulous training, contributing to the reduction of costs as well as risks. It supposes a revolution in training in the nuclear field through tailor-made training solutions, just-in-time, contributing to the reduction of operational costs associated with training and quality problems. The system also uses a physical replica of the necessary equipment that is connected directly to the virtual environment.

This simulator is the first of these features worldwide and a part of a new generation of simulators that GE Hitachi will launch on the market in the coming years, (not only for reactors with BWR technology but also for PWR and D&D), in partnership with Virtualware.
