Virtual and Augmented Reality in Nuclear Plant Lifecycle Perspective
The paper presents a subset of the experiences gained over the last decade by Institute for Energy Technology (IFE) using virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) in design, operation, maintenance and decommissioning to solve real world problems in the nuclear plant lifecycle. The use of VR in training at Leningrad Nuclear Power Plant (LNPP) in Russia started in 1999 with the introduction of VR technology developed by IFE for the planning, training and presentation of procedures related to safe operation and maintenance of the refuelling machine. At Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant (ChNPP) in Ukraine, the establishment of the Chemobyl Decommissioning Visualisation Centre (CDVC) was started in 2007. The CDVC will be used for planning, training and presentation of dismantling procedures. In the future, the CDVC will also offer calculation of the occupational dose. In the design, VR and AR have proven to be useful for better communicating the layout of project proposals. AR can be used to supplement reality by blending the physical and the virtual in the actual physical environment. IFE has developed a practical solution for using the AR technology. Finally, IFEs plans for future use of VR and AR technologies in a nuclear plant lifecycle perspective are discussed.
