JAERI had carried out design study about a lightweight and compact integral type reactor (an advanced marine reactor) with passive safety equipment, and completed an engineering design. To confirm the design performance and operation performance and to utilize the study of automation of the reactor operation, we have developed a simulator for the integral type reactor. This can be used also for research and development of a small reactor.However, in using for research and development, the improvement in a performance of hardware and a human machine interface of software of the simulator were needed. Renewal of hardware and improvement of software have been conducted. Thereby, the operability of an integral-reactor simulator has been improved. Moreover, versatility, maintainability, extendibility, and the improvement of system performed by using the conventional hardware and software.This is a report on hardware renewal and the interface improvement of the integral type reactor simulator mainly focused on contents of the enhancement in a human machine interface.
