The simulator, which has a thermal power of 100 megawatts, is intended to regulate and monitor the temperatures in the nuclear reactor, according to Iran’s Mehr News Agency (MNA).

It was developed “for the technical training of personnel and their familiarization with the concepts of power plant operation in normal and emergency conditions,” the news outlet reported, adding that the simulator “has great potential for exports to other countries.”

The country’s older generation of simulators, produced abroad, were given to eight Iranian universities for student training.
