As a result of thisdissatisfaction, a search was conducted to determine if miniature models or PLCsimulation software was available that could be implemented in the laboratory. The results of the search resulted in the purchase of two different models and asimulation software package. This paper describes in detail the hardware, the simulationsoftware, and the student evaluation of the updated laboratory experiments. Objective.

The reality is rather dramaticallydifferent, in that the U.S. presently produces over 20% of its electricity from nuclear power, andmany countries around the world generate a much higher fraction. There has been no newnuclear plant ordered in the US during the past fifteen years, but by contrast the world demandfor nuclear electric power is accelerating.Utility production of nuclear electricity in the U.S. is under competitive pressure fromalternative technologies, including coal and natural gas. The pressure from natural gas isespecially intense due to the availability of inexpensive natural gas used to fuel high efficiency,combined cycle gas
