Development of a training platform for power plant application using virtual reality (VR) tools supports the safety operation.The VR platform is a computer-based artificial environment where the user can do activities and interact with different objects, and he/she senses the environment realistic.Such immersive, realistic VR world can be applied in the energy sector of the industry, especially in the field of maintenance, operation in normal and emergency conditions to train the staff for the adequate actions.For this, usability test of the recently available devices are performed, followed by the development of an industrial application.Using this power plant application the maintenance training can be performed in such a way that it does not disturb the operation schedule of the plant and the user is not exposed unnecessarily at danger (high temperature, radiation, etc.).
