Summary
The AEEW analogue computer Installation contains three EAI 680 computers. These are used, to study the dynamics of nuclear power plants, to test the performance of control hardware and for the training of reactor operators- Problems studied on these machines are prepared with the assistance of the APSE (Automatic Programming and Scaling of Equations) digital computer code. (Ref 1). This paper describes the application of microprocessors within the analogue models, which has significantly reduced the analogue equipment requirement and Improved both accuracy and capability.
