  • Fission Gas Bubble Behavior in Uranium Carbide

    Creator:
    Matthews, Christopher
    Abstract:
    The need for cheap reliable energy, while simultaneously avoiding uranium supply constraints makes uranium carbide (UC) fueled Gas Fast Reactors offer an attractive nuclear reactor design. In order to qualify the fuel, an enhanced understanding of the behavior of uranium carbide during operation is paramount. Due to a reduced re-solution...

  • Preliminary framework for the run-ahead predictive simulation software (RAPSS)

    Creator:
    Makinson, Kevin A.
    Abstract:
    The Run-Ahead Predictive Simulation Software (RAPSS) is an architecture designed for faster-than-real-time decision support for operators of complex networks. To enable further development of the RAPSS methodology, the necessary proof of principle is illustrated in two applications: decision support for shift technical advisors in nuclear power plant control rooms (RAPSS-STA),...
