Education and training to support Canadian nuclear workforce development
Along with several other nations, Canada has committed to net-zero emissions by 2050. Part of this plan is tripling nuclear generating capacity. As of 2025, the country has four operating nuclear generating stations with a total of 17 reactors, 16 of which are in the province of Ontario. The Independent Electricity System Operator has recommended that an additional 17,800 MWe of nuclear power be added to Ontario’s grid.

The SSTG steam generator simulation model has been developed by the University of Hong Kong for pressurized water reactor training simulators. Two-phase thermal-hydraulic models have been developed to simulate various physical phenomena such as boiling heat transfer and phase slip in the steam generator. To validate their accuracy, a turbine trip test is simulated. The calculational results are compared with the Electric Power Research Institute’s Arkansas Nuclear One Unit 2 turbine trip test data, and the results are found to be reasonably satisfactory.
