About nuclear VR training

An integral component of a comprehensive industry training program

GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy offers a unique, award-winning solution—based on Virtualware’s VIROO* platform and immersive VR rooms concept—that allows personnel to simulate complex real-life nuclear power plant scenarios. This system increases hands-on training time and prepares workers to handle unexpected events and emergencies with nuclear reactors.

By integrating a virtual reality immersive experience with the benefits of detailed training, the FMS offers a comprehensive and secure platform to configure training sessions. It replicates specific plant conditions, while also allowing the entire process to be monitored and training results to be preserved.

Vessel Assembly and Vessel Distension simulator

Helps facilitate vessel disassembly training within a plant-specific (BWR) environment via a physical tensioner replica connected directly to the virtual environment.
