Simulator Testing Using New Automated Tools from GSE Robert Soderholm – Surry / Dominion Michael Fendley – GSE, Director of Operations

2 Required Simulator Performance Testing Simulator Operability Testing  Steady State Performance  Transient Performance for a benchmark set of transients  Record of the conduct of test and its evaluation maintained Simulator Scenario-based Testing (SBT)  Ensures the simulator is capable of producing the expected reference unit response; using scenario validation process to ensure: Scenario meets predetermined objectives Scenario includes appropriate instructor interfaces, operator actions, and operator cues Simulator is capable of producing response without significant discrepancies, or deviation from approved scenario sequence Data shall be acquired during scenario validation; results documented

3 GSE Tools SmartTemplate  Generates the Template used by SmartTest in Attended / Unattended Mode  Template can be customized in Excel after creation  SmartTemplate can import existing batch & CAEP files as well as newly created SmartScenario Files SmartTest  Performs a single or group of tests  Can be run in attended or unattended mode  Automatically generates reports at completion of tests SmartScenario  Can import existing batch and CAEP files  Scenario runs during the SmartTest so that user can monitor progress

4 Use of Automated Tools at Surry Attended Mode  SBT  Official ANSI Tests – Allows for proper PCS and Panel Switch Check  Any Special test that does not have a specific end time Non-Attended Mode  Verification Testing on Non-integrated Computer  Multiple ANSI Tests on Non-integrated Computer  Malfunction Testing for Alarm Verification SBT Automated Report  Quick / Easy / User Friendly  Contains all required components of NEI R1  Use Pre-determined Variable List

5 Use of Automated Tools at Surry ANSI Automated Report  Able to look at current year plus 5 Input Baseline Data Sets  Use Pre-determined Variable List  Long and Short report File Structure  S:\OPENSIM\SIMULATORTESTING ANSI SBT SPECIAL SWO (SIMULATOR WORK ORDER)  Under each sub-folder ATS (Automated Test Suites) Results TestTemplates
