The fidelity assessment portion, of a methodology for evaluating nuclear power plant simulation facilities in regards to their appropriateness for conducting the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's operating test, was described. The need for fidelity assessment, data sources, and fidelity data which need to be collected were addressed. Fidelity data recording, collection, and analysis was discussed. The processes for drawing conclusions from the fidelity assessment and evaluating the adequacy of the simulator control-room layout were presented.
