China launches N-plant simulator

BEIJING - China has put into operation its first home-built simulator of a nuclear power plant in the country’s southeastern Fujian province, a media report said.

The simulator was put into operation at the under-construction Ningde nuclear power station Tuesday, ending China’s long-time reliance on foreign procurement and imported equipment, People’s Daily reported.

The full-scope simulator was built for training of staff on operation and management of nuclear power plant.
