Neutronic Analysis of a Liquid Metal Fast Reactor Experiment in the Large-I Position of the Advanced Test Reactor

Creator:

Lilley, Benjamin C.

Abstract:

Material testing experiments are needed to enable the next generation of nuclear fission reactors. Concluding in 2009, the Boosted Fast Flux Loop (BFFL) project was devised as a way to test fast reactor materials and fuels in the Advanced Test Reactor (ATR), however the experiment location it used is now...

A General Purpose Agent-Based Blackboard Optimization Method Applied to Sodium Fast Reactor Design and Analysis

Creator:

Stewart, Ryan H.

Abstract:

We present a novel multi-objective optimization methodology built upon a multi-agent blackboard framework. This multi-agent blackboard system (MABS) synthesizes blackboard architectures, multi-agent environments, and optimization theory. The blackboard architecture creates the framework for initializing, storing, and solving a multi-objective optimization problem. Multiple agents allow for an optimization problem to be...
