  ABSTRACT: This paper introduces the simulation, and controls using Simulink of MATLAB for PCTRAN (Personal Computer Transient Analysis) of the power control system (PWR) type pressurized water reactor of PWR WESTINGHOUSE AP1000. The power controller model produces mathematical model description in nonlinear relation form in Simulink of MATLAB which is an important and popular program used at most universities for education. The power controller is described by a block diagram in this paper and some details introduce to clearly understand the work function. The results of action control compared with the PCTRAN programme in modes of automatic and manual control.
