Authors: Oleg F. Kukharchuk, Alexander P. Barzilov and Boris V. Kachanov Programming language: Borland C++ Computer hardware requirements: IBM PC and compatible, 386 or higher, >4Mb RAM Computer software requirements: MS Windows 3.1 or higher, Win32 Features: Real-time computer simulator of twin-core fast burst reactor BARS-6 for numerical simulation of transient processes for basic operations in pulse and stationary modes, pulse parameter predictions, testing of reactivity measurement methods. Simulation of accidents connected with abnormal reactivity surplus into core. BARS-6 reactor personal training.
	Mathematical Model:     Simulator’s mathematical model describes the kinetics of fast coupled reactor, taking into account the temperature reactivity feedback effects and thermal transient processes in the reactor cores (see Ref2 - 3,4 and Ref4 - 1,4). Stiff differ equations of this model are numerically solved using original algorithm.
	General Information:     The BARS-6 Simulator has user-friendly Windows interface, graphics and training/context help systems. The information about reactor (including the general view of reactor cores and interactive moving of rods and BARS-6 cores) are represented on a display. BARS-6 Simulator build-in Timer has two modes - the "REAL" time mode and the "ACCELERATE" (acceleration up to 10 times) time mode.     It is possible to use BARS-6 Simulator in "ANALYSIS" mode (the reactivity is showed on reactor monitor; this mode is protected with the password) and in "TRAINING" mode (on reactor monitor - the period value). The on-line control for user’s errors is carried out automatically.     The numerical simulation results were compared with experimental data. It was shown that experimental and computed results are in a good agreement.
