We are delighted to debut the newest addition to the ITI VR Crane Simulator, the Polar Crane: 175 Ton Capacity - Built to Handle Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) Components. Authentically modeled in partnership with Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), the ITI VR Polar Crane provides end users with an immersive and true to life experience of operating a Reactor Servicing Crane.
The ITI VR Polar Crane operates on a circular track or runway, within containment/reactor facilities. Polar cranes' primary function is removal and replacement of reactor components. They are also utilized during the refueling and outage process.
Due to the highly specialized environment and use cases, training for polar crane operators presents a number of challenges, all of which we have successfully addressed by way of our groundbreaking virtual reality simulator.
