REACTOR SIMULATORS - Lina On June 9th, I was visited by representctives of General Precision Inc. (Link Division) to discuss the use/ of reactor simulators for training. Messrs Mellard, Wilkerson & myself were in attendance.
They expressed interest in knowing what our thoughts were on the use of simulators in our examining work. I explained tnat presently we do not use simulatorc as a substitute for actutl operation of a reactor for either examining purposes or determining " cold" exam eligibility.
I explained that such decisions on our part are difficult since we can-not actually observe operation of simulr. tor which an applicant might propose as a future substitute.
Mr. Wilkerson mede the analogy that we i
(the Commission)were probably in the seme situr. tion that the FAA was involved in 6-7 years ago, when jet simulntors were first proposed for training.
Mr. Mellard suggested thr t an observation of actual pilot training i
on r 707 simulator would be useful for us to consider and offered to arrange such a visit at the Pan Am facility in San Frencisco neer Link's l
Sunnyvale Simulator Mfg. Division.

Ato-1 questioned them on what their reactor simulators might be ex-pected to do, e.g. d'glicate chr.nnel observetion, perform strai ht 6
through startupc from source level to full power and actual operator critique by the simulator, etc. They stated thut most likely anything one might ask to be simulated could be acco:::plished - provided you pay the price, of course.
At their request, I indicated to them that B & W & Combustion were also in the booming businecs of power rer.ctors and had sold several recently.
