WSC Overview
Founded in 1995, WSC is a privately held global simulation and services company headquartered in Frederick, Maryland that has successfully delivered over 250 simulators. WSC's continuing vision is to provide our customers with innovative, state-of-the-art, simulation technology products and services that add value in the design, commissioning, and safe & reliable operation of their power generating, test facility or process plant assets.
WSC and its 3KEYMASTER simulation software and applications have evolved with the growing needs of the power plant industry for use beyond operator training. WSC has incorporated specific capabilities within our simulation platform to provide the Simulation Assisted Engineering SAE tools needed to assist engineering groups tasked with design and verification of new plant designs and for control systems for new or existing power plants. 3KEYMASTER is the platform of choice for several ongoing Small and Micro Modular Reactor (SMR and MMR) SAE projects, such as GE-Hitachi’s BWRX-300 design, TerraPower’s Natrium Reactor & Integrated Energy Storage System design, Holtec’s SMR-160 design and others.
