Pressurized Water Reactor Simulation and Visualization

Electrical Engineering

Team 13

Brian Bellanca, Robert McVicar, Justin Ramsey, David Sigdestad, Dylan Hull

Summary

This project developed an interactive simulation and visualization of a pressurized water reactor (PWR) to help users understand nuclear power systems. It combines nuclear physics, thermal-hydraulic modeling, and programming into a user-friendly GUI that bridges the gap between basic educational tools and complex industry-grade simulators.
