The minimum plant evolutions to be simulated.
2.
The minimum number of malfunctions (75), including a list of 22 mandatory malfunctions.
3.
Simulator and control room environment.
4.
Systems to be simulated and the degree of completeness of simulation.
5.

6.
Steady state and transient operation performance criteria.
7.
