- GSE to Build Plant Simulator for Westinghouse Nuclear Plants

Sykesville -- GSE Systems, a provider of real-time simulation to the power industry, said that it received a multi-million dollar contract from Westinghouse Electric to build an AP1000 nuclear power plant simulator based upon Westinghouse’s design for domestic customers. The simulators will be used by Westinghouse to demonstrate the plant design and control room human factors. The models that will be built in this current phase will be largely common to all future US-based AP1000 plants. The Westinghouse AP1000 design is currently speced in 14 announced US nuclear power plants. GSE expects to receive an order for a simulator for each of these plants.
