The MARS has been operating for operator training and operation procedure's verification of the prototype fast breeder reactor "Monju" since April 1991. In order to carry out the above results more effectively, the MARS supporting system which consists of several computer systems has being developed. This report covers the following three supporting systems developed from 1994 to 2001 and study on evaluation method of Monju operator training data. (1)Expanded Monju visual animation system. The Monju visual animation system was developed to visualize the inner structure of equipments and the parameters without measuring points. This system is used for training from 1993. And then, the training limits of the system has been extended. (2)Development of the Monju min simulator for reactor core analysis. Development of the Monju min simulator which analyzes thermo-hydraulic behavior in the Monju reactor in detail is proceeding with the aims of upgrading Monju operator training effect. The obtained results will be reflected to remodeling of MARS's reactor core analysis model. (3)Development of the severe accident CAI (Computer Assisted Instruction) system. The prototype system which supports study on accident management was developed. This system will be converted when the severe accident procedure of Monju is fixed, and it will be used for training. (4)Study on evaluation method of Monju operator training data. In order to reconstruct the operator training system, the evaluation method of training data was considered. The availability has been checked as a result of evaluating crew communication using this method.
