The conventional learning techniques, whilst proving its viability for years, don’t keep up with the technological advancements that are made day-to-day, marking them as outdated and tedious. This is when Virtual Reality Simulations come into play.

The creation of a nuclear reactor simulator program in a virtual reality environment seeks to transform nuclear engineering and safety training. This effort aims to meet numerous major objectives by utilizing innovative VR technology, including instructional, operational, and safety demands for the nuclear industry.

The simulation allows those who use it to interact with system’s components, exploring their dynamics in normal and transient conditions, allowing the safe control of various parameters to thoroughly evaluate the response of the reactor. Therefore, trainees can conduct experiments and simulations of reactor operations without the risks associated with real-life testing.

The simulator can also be used to train employees involved with nuclear power plants to hone their abilities; addressing safety issues related to hypothetical nuclear power plant accidents.

It became evident, especially in recent years advancements in nuclear engineering, that innovative approaches to training, education, and research are required to support the growth of skilled operators in the nuclear power plant industry.
