Mini Nuclear Reactor Simulator Comes To Lynchburg

Two dozen engineers will soon use a simulated control room to refine the design for a new class of mini nuclear reactors from Babcock & Wilcox Co. The company said Tuesday that the engineering simulator in Lynchburg is a key milestone in the mPower modular reactor development program. Officials say the control room prototype is built to the same specifications as one that would control the two reactors in an actual control room.
