%X One of the key elements considered for safe operation of the Nuclear Power Plant is the knowledge possessed by the operators. Plant safety is ensured by inducting well trained operators and engineers having domain knowledge and experience in the related field. Getting acquainted and trained in the simulator environment definitely yields best results when it comes to handling a crisis or an emergency situation by the operators in a plant. High fidelity Full Scope Simulator plays a major role in providing such training platform for imparting comprehensive training on various plant conditions. Modeling and Simulation of Backup Control Room (BCR) is a part of Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor (PFBR) Operator Training Simulator. This paper discusses about various steps involved in Modeling and Simulation of BCR mainly Virtual panel simulation, the associated logic and control simulation, data collection, naming of process variables, interfacing with the associated processes and integration and testing of BCR with Simulator Environment. The need of BCR in Nuclear Power Plant, its location in plant and various features are also included here.
