The Oakflat Nuclear Power Plant Simulator is a 32-bit program designed for
Microsoft ® Windows (9x/ME/NT 4.0/2000/XP/Vista/Windows 7) that simulates a
pressurized light-water nuclear power plant. The user controls the settings for
the control rods, primary and secondary coolant pumps, damage control teams, and
emergency actions to maximize the amount of electricity generated and profits
earned. And be sure not to meltdown the core and cause a catastrophe in the process.
The simulator can also be operated in a variety of automatic modes with the
computer setting the controls based on the reactor output, so the user can
gradually take over control of the plant as they learn the how to handle the
controls on their own. There is even
a “Target Output” control that works like an accelerator pedal, allowing the
user to concentrate on the larger picture of running the plant and letting the
computer moderate the atomic reaction in the reactor core.
Oakflat was designed to be enjoyed as game, and not as real scientific device. It was built using actual nuclear
physics formulas, power plant designs, and nuclear reactor user manuals, mostly
available from
NRC and the internet.
Features Include:
- Simulatates a 3 MWe pressurized light-water nuclear reactor and adjoining power plant.
- Control the reactor and the plant using the keyboard and/or the mouse, interfacing with an intuative and colorful interface.
- Users can enter settings such as control rod setings, primary and secondary pump
rates, steam bypass valves settings, auxillary and reserve coolant pumps rates,
damage control teams, turbine trips, reactor scrams, and more.
- Users can allow the computer to control the simulator or they can input control
values using a variety of methods
- The simulator can operate at 3 speeds and can be paused at any point.
- When minimized the program runs silently as a Notification Icon of your Taskbar
Requires Microsoft ® Windows 9x/ME/NT/2000/XP/Vista
