Editor's Notes
- #12: SimultaneouslyCompare current trending with reference data.Statistical built-in functions to evaluate code performance, such as sensitivity & uncertainty study.Give insight to code users.Simultaneous code performance, do not need to wait until code to be terminated to know how code performs comparing with reference data.
- #14: We developed a tool that amazingly describes industry events and used it effectively to describe the event at Fukushima. This tool, DesignEP, expertly describes the Fukushima event and has been used by ERIN and EPRI
- #17: Users can quickly visualize the status of the unit, including RCS and containment. Any internal variable can be accessed and graphed for in depth understanding
- #21: 3-D like modern GUI for PSA-HD. Much better illustration to the real nuclear plant condition. Details and scales are preserved to give correct impression to the operator & code users.
- #22: 3-D like modern GUI for PSA-HD. Much better illustration to the real nuclear plant condition. Details and scales are preserved to give correct impression to the operator & code users.
- #23: This is an example that how ex-plant dose could be displayed.Max 10 calculation points can be modeled in maap code.Plume dispersion in atmosphere can be modeled in maap.Rain, wind as well as building blocking can be taken into consideration.
