-
- --<<< SIMULATOR COMMAND DETAIL LIST >>>--
-
- (A description of the available commands at the <F7> Command Prompt)
-
- A = AUTO START Command.
-
- ACCIDENT = Simulates a sudden loss of coolant accident where there is a
- profound loss of coolant. For the purpose of the simulator,
- a rapid loss of coolant accident could empty the primary coolant
- loop of all coolant in less than 20 hours. Counter measures to
- replace the coolant and stop the leak could slow, or even stop a
- meltdown. Once this command is entered it can not be aborted.
- If the option creates a reactor core meltdown the simulation
- run is ended. Only use this option to see how devastating such
- an accident could be, and to practice emergency procedures for
- such an event.
-
- ALARM TEST = Sounds the hourly temperature change alarm, the attention
- alarm, the warning alarm, and the emergency alarm to test the audio
- system in the computer. If the sound is turned OFF no alarms will
- be heard during the test. Use the SOUND command to turn the
- speaker back ON.
-
- AUTO = Automatically adjusts the simulators control settings to maintain
- the power output at or near 100%. MANUAL reverses the command.
- Controlled by the Auto Adjustment computer, AUTO will adjust
- CONTROL RODS, PCP, SCP, and ECP to maintain a consistent output,
- and will automatically repair major plant damage (Damage > 25%)
- and refuel the reactor when needed (Using the AUTO SHUTDOWN
- command). It will not maintain coolant levels with the PRIMARY
- and SECONDARY RESERVE COOLANT PUMP.
-
- AUTO OFF = Initiates the Automatic ShutDown Procedures which will
- set the CONTROL RODS = 0 and turn off the RESERVE COOLANT PUMPS
- if they are activated. This procedure is activated automatically
- while in the AUTO mode and the FUEL REMAINING < 11 or the TOTAL
- DAMAGE > 24%. Once the reactor is shutdown the simulation will
- automatically end and your performance will be evaluated.
-
- AUTO SHUTDOWN = Initiates the Automatic ShutDown Procedures which will
- set the CONTROL RODS = 0 and turn off the RESERVE COOLANT PUMPS
- if they are activated. This procedure is activated automatically
- while in the AUTO mode and the FUEL REMAINING < 11 or the TOTAL
- DAMAGE > 24%. When the reactor is shutdown, repairs and/or
- refueling procedures will be initiated if the simulator is in
- AUTO or DEMO mode.
-
- AUTO START = Starts the simulator in AUTO mode, but in addition to the
- normal settings, the DOUBLE option, the DAMAGE CONTROL option,
- and the DEMAND option are all activated.
-
- DAMAGE = Sets the Quality of the workmanship of both the Primary and
- Secondary Coolant Systems to POOR. The effect of this is to create
- substantial amounts of damage to the plant.
-
- DAMAGE CONTROL ON = Instructs the computer to initiate Damage Control
- automatically on any significant damage found in the plant. The
- equivalent manual command would be the <F8> function. The
- automatic system activates emergency repairs when an individual
- systems damage exceeds 6%. If the fuel level is less than 12%
- then repairs are started at damage equal to, or greater than
- 5%. Coolant Levels are also monitored and Reserve Coolant is
- pumped into the loops as needed via the RCP.
-
- DAMAGE CONTROL OFF = Turns off automatic Damage Control.
-
- DELAY n = Activates a n second pause after each simulated hour that
- passes. Should be used when the user wants to slow the amount
- of time between simulated hours. Many new users will find this
- option very helpful as they are learning the simulation. To
- turn of the delay use the DELAY 0 command.
-
- DEMAND ON = The Demanded Power Level is displayed on the Main Control
- Panel display as " % DMD ", and indicates how much power should be
- generated at that time. The usual Demand is 100%, but this will be
- randomly changed when Demand is set ON. The TARGET command allows
- users to manually set the DEMAND level from the command prompt.
-
- DEMAND OFF = Turns off changing Demanded Power Level option.
-
- DEMO = This command is used do demonstrate the operation of the simulator.
- It will PRETEST and power up the plant with the following settings:
- AUTO ON FAST SHORT BLANK ON DAMAGE CONTROL ACTIVATED
- DEMAND ACTIVATED RUN UNTIL 100
- These settings will remain in effect through-out the simulation
- unless they are de-activated. To de-activate the DEMO mode use
- the MANUAL or AUTO command. The DEMO command will initiate the
- PRETEST command if DEMO is entered when the core is at 65°F.
- Entering the command at any other time will activate the DEMO mode
- but will not PRETEST any systems.
-
- DOCS = DOCUMENTATION Command.
-
- DOCUMENTATION = Displays the simulators help file (OAKFLAT.DOC) using
- HYPERhelp. The cursor keys, <PgUp>, <PgDn>, <Home>, and <End>
- will view different parts of the file, while <ESC> quits
- HYPERhelp and returns back to the simulator.
-
- EMERGENCY POWER = On of the likely causes of a catastrophic accident in a
- nuclear power plant is a power outage. If for any reason the
- plants internal electrical power fails, it is unable to pump
- coolant to maintain the cores temperature within safe limits.
- The EMERGENCY POWER command supplies 3 days (72 hrs) worth of
- emergency back up power for the coolant pumps. In the case of
- power outage enter the command and then immediately shut down the
- plant for repairs.
-
- EVACUATE = The EVACUATE command initiates an evacuation of all plant
- personal and does an automatic shutdown on the plant. The
- evacuation command should only be used during a catastrophic
- accident that can not be stopped any other way. Be sure to
- start the evacuation soon enough for all plant personal to reach
- a safe distance before the core melts.
-
- EXIT = Quit the simulation without displaying your final score, or
- the option or restarting the simulation or quit to DOS. Once
- the EXIT command is entered at the command prompt, the screen
- is cleared and the simulation has aborted back to DOS. All
- information about the simulation is lost. This command should
- only be used to quickly exit the simulation when the operator
- DOES NOT want his or her evaluation. To receive an evaluation
- the QUIT command must be used.
-
- FUEL = The FUEL command describes the percentage of fissionable materials
- in the fuel rods currently in the reactor. Each time the plant is
- re-fueled the exact percentage of fissionable materials in the
- rods varies. Normally the percentage is between 2.5% and 3.5%
- the command can aslo be used to change the percentage to any value
- between 2.5% and 3.5%. A higher percentage will generate more heat
- using less fuel.
-
- I = INSPECTION command.
-
- INSPECTION = Reports the last NRC inspection info on the Primary System
- (reactor, PCS, & part of the Heat Exchanger, and the Secondary
- System (part of Heat Exchanger, SCS, Condenser, & Cooling Towers).
-
- MANUAL = Turns off automatic output control, so the simulator will depend
- on the users input of CONTROL ROD, PCP, and SCP settings to
- maintain constant power output. To de-activate the manual control
- command, enter the AUTO of DEMO command at the prompt.
-
- PRCP ON = Activates the Primary Reserve Coolant Pump, moving reserve
- coolant from the PCS to the SCS. This increases the amount of
- primary coolant while reducing the reserve coolant level. To
- de-activate the option, use the PRCP OFF command.
-
- PRCP OFF = Turns off the Primary Reserve Coolant Pump.
-
- PPRV OPEN = Opens the Primary Pressure Release Valve and lowers the
- pressure in the primary loop. As the pressure drops, so will the
- reactor and heat exchangers temperatures. Since the steam is
- really just super heated primary coolant, the coolant level in
- the PCS drops each hour. NOTE: Once the valve is open it must
- be closed or all of the primary coolant could be lost if the
- valve is left open for too long. Watch the coolant levels while
- using this option.
-
- PPRV CLOSED = Closes the PPRV if the valve is open and has no effect if
- the valve is already closed.
-
- PRETEST = Tests all simulated reactor components prior to starting
- the reactor from a complete power down, including a test of
- Alarm System (if the SOUND is ON). The reactor core is also
- preheated before power up. This reduces the chances of coolant
- system damage and adds 1000 points to the score.
-
- QUIT = Quits the simulation displaying your final score, and restart the
- simulation or quit to DOS.
-
- RATE = The RATE command describes the rate of fuel use within the reactor.
- The rate will be shown as the percentage of fuel used per day.
-
- REFUEL = Replaces the reactors fuel rods after the core temperature
- drops to 62° F. Any repairs needed are done automatically
- before the refueling is started. Once the refueling is complete,
- the main display appears with the simulator indicating the change
- in fuel level, days simulated, damage, and expenses.
-
- REPAIR = Does a complete repair job on all systems having any damage.
- The amount of time needed and the costs of repairs are based
- on the amount of damage present at the time of repairs. The
- days needed to complete the repairs are added to the days simulated
- variable, and the expenses of the repairs are added to the
- expenses.
-
- RESTART = Restarts the simulator from the title screen, all current
- simulator settings and values are lost. It has the same effect
- as exiting the simulation and re-running the simulator from the
- DOS prompt.
-
- RUN UNTIL = Allows the user to set the number of days the simulator will
- run before evaluation. The default number of days is 1000, but
- it can be set between 1 and 2000.
-
- SCRAM = All Control Rods are immediately inserted back into the
- reactor core to cause the spontaneous shut down of the thermal
- nuclear reaction. The simulator will properly shut down the
- reactor to begin cooling down for repairs. Use this command
- only for extreme emergencies since it is very expensive!
-
- SHELL = Exits the user to a DOS prompt. To return to the simulator type
- "EXIT" at the DOS prompt and the user will return to the simulation
- without effecting the simulator's current run.
-
- SHIELD ON = Activates an advanced electronic radiation shield that will
- reduce (not eliminate) radiation exposure. The shield will reduce
- the number of neutrons that escape the standard protective
- shielding by 60%. The cost of this added protection is the loss
- of all supplemental views (<F9> screens), and a lower hourly
- score. To de-activate the option use the SHIELD OFF command.
- The SHIELD option can be activated and de-activated as needed.
-
- SHIELD OFF = Turns off the SHIELD option.
-
- SOUND ON = Toggles the Speaker Sound Status on and off. If the Status
- Line displays " SND " the SOUND option is activated.
-
- SOUND OFF = Turns off the SOUND option. Once the command is entered, the
- Status Line will change displaying a "NoSND" indicating the SOUND
- option is off.
-
- SPEED n = The optional setting for length, which displays n hours worth of
- plant operations with each display pass. The startup default value
- is n = 1, display 1 hours worth of operation with each display
- pass. To return the speed to the default value, enter SPEED 1 at
- the command prompt.
-
- SPRV OPEN = Opens the Secondary Pressure Release Valve and lowers the
- pressure in the primary loop. As the pressure drops, so will the
- condenser temperature and turbine output. Since the steam is super
- heated secondary coolant, the coolant level drops in the SCS.
- NOTE: Once the valve is opened using this command, it must be shut
- or all the secondary coolant could be lost. Use the SPRV CLOSED
- command to shut the valve and carefully watch the coolant levels
- while using this command.
-
- SPRV CLOSED = Closes the SPRV if the valve is open and has no effect if
- the valve is closed.
-
- SRCP ON = Activates the Secondary Reserve Coolant Pump, moving reserve
- coolant from the RCS to the SCS. This increases the amount of
- secondary coolant while reducing the reserve coolant level. To
- de-activate the option, use the SRCP OFF command.
-
- SRCP OFF = Turns off the Secondary Reserve Coolant Pump.
-
- TARGET = Sets the Demanded Power Level to a percentage between 10% and
- 100%. This command is useful when the AUTO or DEMO options are
- activated. The computer will automatically adjust the control
- settings to maintain the power output at the demanded percentage.
- To use the command , enter "TARGET " followed be the requested
- target demand level. To set the level at 80% enter "TARGET 80"
- at the <F7> command prompt. To reset the demand level to 100%
- enter "TARGET 100", and to display the status of the option type
- "TARGET" alone at the command prompt.
-
- TOWER PUMP ON = Activates the pumps responsible for pumping coolant from
- the CONDENSER to the COOLING TOWERS and back again. The coolant
- flows through the coils inside the CONDENSER to cool the secondary
- coolant as it comes from the TURBINES on its way back into the
- STEAM GENERATOR. If the TOWER PUMPS are not activated the
- CONDENSER will overheat and damage will occur. When in AUTO mode
- the pumps will automatically activate when the CONDENSER COILS
- reach 96°F. The pumps will also de-activate at 96° while in any
- mode.
-
- TOWER PUMP OFF = De-activates the TOWER PUMPS from the command prompt.
-
- TURBINE TRIP = Automatically opens Steam Valves #1 and #2, thus by-passing
- the Turbines and thus the generation of electrical power. The
- steam is still produced, it just isn't allowed to turn turbines and
- generate power. Once a TURBINE TRIP is initiated it can not be
- stopped, and a significant core overhaul will be needed. Be
- certain you need to use this command before entering it. It should
- only be used in case of extreme emergency.
-
- V = Value command.
-
- VALUE = Displays the current value of the power generated by the plant.
- The starting price is $21.49 per mega-watts per hour. The value
- is increased by refueling and pretesting the reactor prior to
- power up.
-
- VALVE 1 OPEN = Opens the by-pass valves for steam flowing through Turbine
- Group #1. When this valve is open a 50% drop in power output is
- is seen and once open, it will remain that way until the valve is
- closed with a VALVE 1 CLOSED command. If both VALVE #1 and #2 are
- open, no power is generated since all steam is by-passed from the
- turbines. This has the same effect as a Turbine Trip but unlike
- the turbine trip it can be aborted by closing the valves
-
- VALVE 1 CLOSED = Closes the by-pass valves for Turbine Group #1.
-
- VALVE 2 OPEN = Opens the by-pass valves for steam flowing through Turbine
- Group #2. When this valve is open a 50% drop in power output is
- seen, and once open it will remain that way until the valve is
- closed with a VALVE 2 CLOSED command. If both VALVES #1 and #2 are
- open, no power is generated since all steam is being by-passed from
- the turbines. This has the same effect as a Turbine Trip but
- unlike the turbine trip it can be aborted by closing the valves
-
- VALVE 2 CLOSED = Closes the by-pass valves for Turbine Group #2.
-
- VER = Displays the simulators version number and the mode it is running
- in. An "(AT)" indicates the program is running on a 80286 computer
- or better. If the "(AT)" is not displayed then the program is
- running on a PC/XT class computer.
-
- VIEW ON = Activates the automatic changing of the view screen. Every
- 15 seconds the view screen will change to the next <F9> screen.
- If any screen is changed manually using the <F6> or <F9> keys it
- will reset the 15 second timer to 0.
-
- VIEW OFF = De-activates automatically changing view screen.
