Training Centre Facilities Modification
“The hardest part of any nuclear simulator project is the construction of the room it is located in.”
Cost of facility space: very high!

Wrap up &Questions
Risks: TRF … is need justified? Yes. Maybe.
What is the regulatory basis?WANO perception?Regulator perception?
