The introduction of VR System development for Nuclear Power Plant(NPP) in Korea*

By using Virtual Reality(VR) technology which is one of the core technologies 4th industry revolution, we are developing VR System development for Nuclear power plants from April 2018 to March 2021. This Research and Development(R&D) project includes VR based “Walk-down System development”, “optimal path tracking system development”, “major equipment transfer and installation simulation”, etc. When fully developed, These R&D results will be applied the construction of the Shin-Kori unit 5,6 nuclear power plant construction to check design interference, to establish work planning, and to effectively collect construction experience knowledges to improve our future construction projects in the future. This paper will introduce major technological developments contents of this R&D project. It is expected that the results of this study will contribute dramatically to enhance the efficiency of nuclear power plant design process and the method of construction by simulating installation method of major equipment such as reactor, steam generators and turbine before installing them in the Shin-Kori unit 5,6.
