VR training benefits
VR simulation enhances your training regimen
Whether used on-site or remotely, VR simulation helps facilitate an easier, smoother, faster transition to real world conditions with less equipment, fuel damage, and training delays.
Increase hands-on training with unlimited repetitions
Low-pressure environment where mistakes carry no real consequences
Make infrequent situations more frequent, and see how people react
Better plant familiarity
Facilitate more learners—combining both abstract and hands-on learners
Practice in a small space whenever needed
Available simulators
Discover GE Hitachi’s range of VR simulators
Fuel movement simulator (FMS)
Helps facilitate fuel movement training within a plant-specific environment—Boiling Water Reactor (BWR). This nuclear plant simulator can be easily adapted to different plant/bridge designs.
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.
