An article about small modular nuclear reactors appears here. It mentions Ft. St. Vrain - Singer bid on that simulator in the early 1970s. A historical summary of the plant, which shows the teething troubles with a new technology, is here.
A 16-minute video of an exercise on the TVA Sequoyah PWR plant simulator. The exercise is training the students on how to handle a large break in the Reactor Coolant System.
Note the cameras mounted above the panels - these are used to record the exercise, so that the students' actions can be analyzed later. Also note a few instructors (the ones not doing anything) who are observing the students.
A history of Systems Engineering Laboratories, the manufacturer of a series of computers used in many simulators, especially on the commercial side, is here. (12/21/2016)
A couple of videos of restored Blue Boxes are here (not available Oct 2013) and here
