JAEA/ISCN is actively using a virtual reality (VR) system for training in nuclear non-proliferation safeguards and nuclear security. The VR system allows participants to experience the environment of a nuclear power plant and a research reactor in a cyber space. It is beneficial for the participants who have never been in a nuclear power plant to see how they are even virtually, in order to learn their physical protection system. Workstations of OS for VR use Windows7 and the warrantee protection period expired in March 2020. For that reason, it was decided to renew those workstations over 2019-2020. This paper will describe its planning called "Refresh Project", which aims to minimize impacts on training and visitors, as well as first year achievement.
