. Ontario Hydro's Board ..of
',Directors has appwved:plans
to purchase nuclear training
simulators for the Bruce A
and Darlington nuclear sem-
crating stations.
The simnlatprs, will. be rep-
licas of the control rooms at
Bruce and, Darlington, but
instead of being attached to
the actual reactors and tur-
bines, they'll be `wired to a
computer system which sim-
ulates the generating station.
Faults may be programmed
from an' instructor's console
to' enable the student to re-
spond to abnormal condi-
tions.
The simulators will be
installed at thte.. Bruce A and
Darlington satellite, tra ping
centres.
"The training simu altors
area very importantp rt of
the total nuclear training pro-
, ,
gram. But, they do not sub-
- state MT the : other forms of
classroom,`, laboratory and
on-the-job•'training," Lorne
McConnell,•P vice-president-
Production s+y and. Trans 1s-
sign, said today. '

and the Bruce Bl'-, s a op M
