What is an E2 Center?
The Energy Exploration (E2) Center is an innovative learning environment that offers users a hands-on opportunity to apply nuclear science and engineering principles through simulated, real-world nuclear power plant operation scenarios.
E2 Center Features
Several innovative features incorporated into the E2 Center simulator are unique to our control room design. These features allow users to engage in hands-on learning about human factors engineering, human-system interface design, advanced diagnostics, control room automation, integrated nuclear plant operation, and more.

A library of digital procedures and automations to ensure that operators are performing the correct actions on the correct unit.
A tiered notification system that informs operators of abnormal positions and provides alarms, cautions, and notices.
Integrated emergency procedures that graphically inform the operator of the condition of the reactor safety functions and link to applicable procedures.
Using fully automated sequences, operators can elect to change power, change electrical output, and control selected equipment.
