Nuclear power plant operating personnel are subject to a continuous retraining program in simulators with the aim of maintaining and improving their operating skills, as well as renewing their operating licenses granted by the Nuclear Safety Council (CSN). In these exhaustive update programs, training is carried out in a multitude of simulated accident scenarios, by … Read more
Why is it necessary to check the habitability of a control room? The control room of a nuclear power plant is the area from which the plant is operated bothunder normal operating conditions (startups, shutdowns and full power operation) and duringaccidents to keep the reactor in a safe condition. In addition to the panel area … Read more

Tecnatom continues to support the Argentinean nuclear program and, within this framework, has given the course “PWR nuclear technology, nuclear accidents, radiological consequences and hydrogen value chain”. This training program is part of the International Postgraduate Courses dictated under the BEC.AR II program of the Ministry of Education of the Argentine Republic. About forty students … Read more
Nuclear power plants and facilities are designed, built and operated with the highest levels of safety and strict quality standards. Therefore, they are among the safest facilities in the world from both a physical and technological point of view. Nuclear safety aims to minimize the probability of an accident occurring and to mitigate its consequences, … Read more
What is cloud simulation? Cloud computing is a technology that is consolidating as one of the great levers to promote innovation and consolidate digitization in organizations. Aware of this, at Tecnatom we have opted for this solution to host our combined cycle training simulator. We tell you about our experience, and how we have been … Read more
Fire protection is vital at any industrial facility and is a key activity at nuclear power plants. For this reason, Tecnatom has participated in a project aimed at validating the optimum status of the response to fires from the control room, from the point of view of human factors. The origin of this project is … Read more
A generic simulator is a highly accurate replica that does not correspond exactly to any specific facility, or at least not to the installation that the users are going to operate. Obviously, these simulators do share the main elements and operational philosophy of the majority of the facilities of this particular type. Given that there … Read more
El proyecto ITER es uno de los proyectos de inversión más grandes del mundo, en el que colaboran más de 35 países con el objetivo de demostrar la viabilidad de la fusión nuclear como fuente de energía inagotable. Para ello se está construyendo uno de los dispositivos de fusión por confinamiento magnético más grandes del mundo, en el que se probarán tecnologías, materiales y regímenes físicos integrados necesarios para la producción de electricidad basada en la fusión.
Tecnatom forma parte del proyecto aportando la creación de la plataforma de simulación de lo que será el simulador de la sala de control de ITER, la integración de modelos existentes desarrollados por distintos suministradores, la integración del sistema de control CODAC, el desarrollo de modelos adicionales, así como el mantenimiento y la formación en la plataforma.
