Search IAEA, NRC, etc. (maybe RSICC?) for nuclear reactor simulators that can be accessed by academics somehow. Simulators that are commercially available for $X0,000+ are not of interest. List and index simulators of interest. Add a folder to zotero (either in paper-dev or in some other topic folder) to hold citations for this activity. Compile as many relevant references as you think you'll need to answer questions like:
What is the name of the software
Who produced it (IAEA? Some company? Some university?)
Who is allowed to use the software
What reactors can it simulate?
What transients can it simulate?
What Operating Systems can this work on (windows? linux? mac?)
What controls can it simulate (control rods, pressure valve openings, etc.)
[ ] understand what is meant by "nuclear reactor simulator" I mean something along the lines of: a computational model of a reactor, usually one that the user can interact with as if they were a reactor operator... and typically capable of simulating accidents of various types (which the user should be able to respond to). (e.g. https://www.iaea.org/topics/nuclear-power-reactors/nuclear-reactor-simulators-for-education-and-training)
