Resumo

Recently, several applications using concepts related to virtual reality has been proposed to help on solving  issues of great interest in Nuclear Engineering . Among them are power plant's  control rooms simulators ; measurement of the estimated radiation dose in a nuclear power plant ; use of game engines to create virtual environments to support evacuation planning of buildings and circulation in areas subjected to radiation ; development  of a man - machine interface based on speech recognition ; virtual control tables for simulation of nuclear power plants; ergonomic evaluation of control rooms , and other ones . Many of these applications are developed at Instituto de Engenharia Nuclear (IEN),  having their results published  in form of articles in periodicals and conferences. This article presents a review of some of these studies showing the evolution in the use of these concepts, describing some of its results and showing prospects for future applications that can make use of virtual reality technology.
