Conclusion
• We develop the new tool to validate the performance of control and monitoring system.
• The tool showed a greater performance than expected.(We found the lots of error during YGN 3&4 Project)
• We try to expand the scope of tool to the NPPs under construction. (Pre-PAT Dynamic Test)
• We changed the name of our engineering simulator from win-NPA to N-Fast.
