Want to find out about the exciting ways engineering affects our lives? Then have a go at our new Bio-Dome, Bridge Builder and Colour Matching games. Each game lasts 10-20 minutes and can be played in a single player practice mode or competitively with others. Discover Engineering. Cutting Edge Research. Nuclear reactor and power plant simulation. Introduction This is not a lesson like the others in Radioactivity and Atomic Physics Explained but it fits in well with the lesson on nuclear power. It is a very sophisticated simulation of a pressurised water reactor (PWR), which is the most common type of nuclear power reactor in the US but not in Europe, though the principles are very similar. Using the tour There is a comprehensive tour which goes through the workings of the reactor, starting from a consumer of electrical energy and working backwards to the reactor core itself. You can restart the tour at any time using the button at the top left of the screen. Hint numbers Each part of the simulation has a hint number that you can click to see a description of its function.
The skill test Once you're familiar with how to use the reactor you can see whether you can control the reactor so that the power output matches the demand from the city.
