As advanced monitoring and controlling systems have been developed, accuracy of real-time simulators must be improved and simulation limits must be extended. Therefore the authors have developed a distributed simulation system to achieve high processing performance using low cost hardware. Moreover, the authors have developed a thermal-hydraulic computer code, using drift-flux non-equilibrium model. This code can realize a high precision two-phase flow analysis, to be considered to have the same prediction capability as two-fluid models, while achieving high speed and stability for real-time simulators. The distributed plant simulator for PWR plants was realized as a result. The distributed simulator consists of multi-processors connected to each other by an optical fiber network. Controlling software for synchronized scheduling and data transfer was also developed. In terms of the code development, the numerical calculation method and implemented correlation chosen for this code are described. The simulation results during both code development and validation testing of the four loop PWR simulator are compared with experiment data and real plant data; the agreement was satisfactory for a plant simulator. the simulation speed was also satisfactory being twice as fast as real-time.
