NRIC Asset Suite Engineering and Operations Data Integration Plan

The National Reactor Innovation Center (NRIC), established by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) in August 2019, accelerates the demonstration and deployment of advanced nuclear energy through its mission to inspire stakeholders and the public, empower innovators, and deliver successful outcomes through efficient coordination of partners and resources. NRIC is a national program led by Idaho National Laboratory (INL), enabling collaborators to harness the world-class capabilities of the U.S. National Laboratory System. Committed to demonstrating advanced reactors by the end of 2025, NRIC is designed to bridge the gap between research, development, and the marketplace to help convert some of the Nation’s most promising advanced nuclear reactors into commercial applications by 2030. To meet these needs, NRIC is developing two reactor demonstration test beds at Idaho National Laboratory (INL), the Laboratory for Operation and Testing in the United States (LOTUS) and the Demonstration and Operation of Microreactor Experiments (DOME) test bed. Each test bed involves the modification of existing facilities at INL’s Materials and Fuels Complex (MFC). Retrofitting these facilities to accommodate novel reactors, as well as subsequent but similar NRIC projects, is a non-trivial engineering task and is expected to generate a significant amount of new and revised documentation. Leveraging digital engineering practices, this documentation will be managed in a purpose-built data management tool to facilitate origination, review, and approval while coordinating with the design contractor. The subsequent upload and review of documentation to INL’s existing document control system comprises a long and unnecessarily manual task. An opportunity exists to automate this upload process and save job-hours while continuing to adhere to INL/MFC document management procedures.

Hands-on with OWL: the Oak–Ridge Wang–Landau Monte Carlo software suite

The Oak–Ridge Wang–Landau (OWL) package is an open-source scientific software specialized for large-scale, Monte Carlo simulations for the study of materials properties at finite temperature. In this paper, we discuss the main features and capabilities of OWL, followed by detailed descriptions of building and running the code. The readers will be guided through the usage and functionality of the code with a few hands-on examples. This paper is based on a tutorial on OWL given at the 32nd Center for Simulational Physics Workshop on Recent Developments in Computer Simulation Studies in Condensed Matter Physics.

Cylinder Occupancy and Measurement Suite

This software automatically records data from the Unattended Cylinder Verification Station, determines the state of the instrument, captures images of uranium hexafluoride shipment cylinders, and determines their weight. The code has been developed primarily for the International Atomic Energy Agency, but this type of instrument could be of interest to any facility operator in the uranium supply chain that handles uranium hexafluoride shipment cylinders (e.g. the 30B and 48Y cylinder). Operators may be interested in having this instrument confirm shipper declared measurement values upon receipt of a cylinder. They may also use it to aid in process monitoring if the quantity of material in the cylinder changes due to a processing activity.
