Abstract: The computerised core surveillance system SCORPIO is described. Main modules in the system arc an interactive communication system with a function keyboard and a fully graphic colour screen; a strategy generator which proposes how to operate the reactor in the near future; a fast core simulator with predictive capability; a data base and a limit check module which calculates margins to the operational limits. The predictive part of the system is completed, and is already installed at a pressurised-water reactor plant. The core follow module is under development, and installation of this module will take place in 1987. Results from the validation of the strategy generator and the simulator are also described.
