Virtual/Augmented Reality (VR/AR):Tools for Nuclear Training, Operations and Design
Introduction: Problems: Mistakes in the field due to a lack of information (Ex: Pump repair failure rate 50%); Avoidable exposure due to multiple employees for procedure adherence and monitoring; Debates over 2D drawings can be more easily resolved. Purpose: Training: Employees can be trained more effectively. Operating: Operations can be carried out more efficiently with fewer workers required with AR. Design Review: Pull the designers and designs into VR. Design: VR: Unreal Engine, Unity, Custom. AR: HoloLens: Unity, Custom - DirectX 12.
