Design of RUSL Irradiation Experiment with Free Standing Sample

During FY19, the MIMIC-RUSL TREAT test successfully measured the shift in resonance of a cantilever beam as it underwent a grain restructuring event in the TREAT reactor core. FY20 efforts focused on a new capsule design which would replace the cantilever beam with a free-free beam. The free-free beam configuration eliminates the cantilever boundary condition and enables internal friction measurements. A test capsule was designed which supported the sample beam at the nodal points of the first flexural vibration mode. Initial tests detected the resonance peak but the signal to noise level was not high enough for in-situ measurements. Several detection probes were tested and a significant increase in the signal to noise was achieved. Although adequate signals and clean resonance peaks were measured when the beam was centered, the beam did not self-center when displaced resulting in distorted and inconsistent resonance peaks. It was concluded that the free-free beam approach is likely not suited for in-situ measurements. Measurement of ZGV plate waves is another option for in-situ microstructure monitoring and should be considered for future work.

Understanding Model Inadequacy in TRISO Nuclear Fuel Fission Products Release Models: Empirical and Mechanistic Approaches

The increasing use of tristructural isotropic (TRISO) particle fuel in both advanced and existing reactors necessitates a thorough evaluation of uncertainties and shortcomings in TRISO fission product release models. These inadequacies arise from the simplifications made in computational models compared to experimental data. Utilizing the BISON fuel performance code and experimental data from the Advanced Gas Reactor (AGR) program provides a unique chance to rigorously assess these inadequacies within a Bayesian uncertainty quantification (UQ) framework. This study contrasts the standard Bayesian framework with the Kennedy-O'Hagan (KOH) framework, which explicitly accounts for modeling inadequacies, in the context of UQ for TRISO silver release models. It examines both the traditional Arrhenius equation and a more advanced lower-length-scale (LLS)-informed model that incorporates microstructure information. The inverse UQ process applied to AGR-2 and AGR-3/4 datasets identified modeling inadequacy as the primary source of uncertainty, with experimental noise also being significant, while model parameter uncertainty was minimal. Both the Arrhenius and LLS-informed models showed similar levels of modeling inadequacy. For forward predictive UQ using the AGR-1 dataset, the KOH framework enhanced the accuracy and quality of quantified uncertainties by approximately 30% and 40%, respectively, compared to the standard Bayesian framework. This improvement was observed for both the Arrhenius and LLS-informed models. At the engineering scale, both models performed similarly, but the LLS-informed model outperformed the Arrhenius equation at the mesoscale. These findings underscore the importance of explicitly considering modeling inadequacy in the UQ process and highlight the need for ongoing refinement of physics-based models to address these shortcomings.

Quantifying Uncertainty of Deep Reinforcement Learning Based Decision Making for Operations and Maintenance of Nuclear Power Plant

This paper summarizes research that integrates condition monitoring and prognostics with decision making for nuclear power plant operations and maintenance. As part of this research, we have developed an online asset management tool to help reduce life-cycle maintenance and repair costs. Using the latest advancements in condition monitoring, supply chain analytics, and deep reinforcement learning, we have created a predictive maintenance tool that can optimize the maintenance and spare-part management of a repairable nuclear system. To demonstrate these methods, preliminary studies were conducted on a simple, representative maintenance system undergoing a stochastic degradation process that requires repairs or replacement to continue operation. Through Monte Carlo simulations, we were able to reduce maintenance spending by approximately 50% compared to optimized, time-based maintenance strategies. Not only does the decision maker reduce the average life-cycle costs, it also minimizes the chance of high cost scenarios, lowering the variance of the expected cost distributions, and reducing overall financial risk. Furthermore, this work also studies the ability of the decision maker to handle various levels of noise from observation uncertainty. By introducing uncertainty into the decision-making process, we have quantified the robustness and resiliency of the decision maker, as well as identified necessary levels of observability to demonstrate cost effectiveness.

Nitridation of atomically smooth (111) diamond surfaces using a low temperature Penning plasma discharge

Diamond is a material with a wide band gap that can host a variety of isolated paramagnetic defects, called “color centers”1. These color centers have attractive optical and magnetic properties suitable for quantum applications including quantum computing, nanophotonics and quantum sensing. The most common one is the negatively charged nitrogen vacancy (NV) color center. For quantum sensing, it is desirable to reduce the distance between the NV center and the analyte by using shallow color centers in order to increase sensitivity. In this context, the diamond surface termination is especially critical. The appropriate surface termination is required to stabilize the color centers and mitigate surface magnetic noise. The nitrogen termination of diamond has been postulated as highly desirable for the NV color center. The goal of this project is to take advantage of an electron beam-generated ExB low temperature plasma developed by the Princeton Collaborative Low Temperature Plasma Research Facility (PCRF) at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) to nitridate the surface of (100) diamond single crystals with minimal surface damage. In this reactor, the use of a magnetized plasma enables gentle processing of materials sensitive to ion damage. This is in strong contrast to radiofrequency plasma processing reactors which are known to etch and sputter the surface. XPS measurements indicate the incorporation of nitrogen and oxygen atoms at the surface in similar amounts. XAS measurements confirm the nitridation and indicate that the nitrogen termination is different from the nitrogen termination obtained using radiofrequency plasma treatment4. The combination of these results indicates the formation of amid species at the (100) diamond surface that are promising for the stabilization of NV centers for quantum sensing.

A Geant4 evaluation of the Hornyak button and two candidate detectors for the TREAT hodoscope

The performance of traditional Hornyak buttons and two proposed variants for fast-neutron hodoscope applications was evaluated using Geant4. The Hornyak button is a ZnS(Ag)-based device previously deployed at the Idaho National Laboratory's TRansient REActor Test Facility (better known as TREAT) for monitoring fast neutrons emitted during pulsing of fissile fuel samples. Past use of these devices relied on pulse-shape discrimination to reduce the significant levels of background Cherenkov radiation. Proposed are two simple designs that reduce the overall light guide mass (here, polymethyl methacrylate or PMMA), employ silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs), and can be operated using pulse-height discrimination alone to eliminate background noise to acceptable levels. Geant4 was first used to model a traditional Hornyak button, and for assumed, hodoscope-like conditions, an intrinsic efficiency of 0.35% for mono-directional fission neutrons was predicted. The predicted efficiency is in reasonably good agreement with experimental data from the literature and, hence, served to validate the physics models and approximations employed. Geant4 models were then developed to optimize the materials and geometries of two alternatives to the Hornyak button, one based on a homogeneous mixture of ZnS(Ag) and PMMA, and one based on alternating layers of ZnS(Ag) and PMMA oriented perpendicular to the incident neutron beam. For the same radiation environment, optimized, 5-cm long (along the beam path) devices of the homogeneous and layered designs were predicted to have efficiencies of approximately 1.3% and 3.3%, respectively. For longer devices, i.e., lengths larger than 25 cm, these efficiencies were shown to peak at approximately 2.2% and 5.9%, respectively. Furthermore, both designs were shown to discriminate Cherenkov noise intrinsically by using an appropriate pulse-height discriminator level, i.e., pulse-shape discrimination is not needed for these devices.

ADVANCED NDE TECHNOLOGIES FOR DETECTING AND MANAGING AGING AND DEGRADATION IN REACTOR COMPONENTS

Recent research in nuclear power reactors has focused on the development and deployment of technologies for improving the economics of nuclear power plant (NPP) operation. Of interest, both from an economic and safety perspective, is the management and mitigation of aging-related degradation in critical components. In this paper, we describe potential techniques for nondestructive evaluation (NDE) that may be adapted for online monitoring of component aging in advanced non-light water reactors (ANLWR). The implications of the operating environment on the NDE measurement, especially when conducted continuously with the sensor placed in situ, are described. The design of sensors that can be used for monitoring component aging in situ and online are discussed, and results from laboratory testing at elevated temperature are outlined. Laboratory testing indicates the sensor can survive the operating temperatures in ANLWRs while providing a reasonable measurement signal-to-noise ratio. Ongoing research is focused on further testing and refining the sensor design and measurement procedures for deployment in ANLWR environments.

Performance of Advanced Signal Processing and Pattern Recognition Algorithms Using Raw Data from Ultrasonic Guided Waves and Fiber Optics Transducers

The Light Water Reactor Sustainability Program was initiated to evaluate technologies that could be used to perform online monitoring of piping and other secondary system structural components in commercial nuclear power plants. These online monitoring systems have the potential to identify when a more detailed inspection is needed using real-time measurements, rather than at a pre-determined inspection interval. This transition to condition-based, risk-informed automated maintenance will contribute to a significant reduction of operations and maintenance costs that account for most nuclear power generation costs. This report describes the current state of research related to ultrasonic guided wave testing and its application to detecting defects in commercial nuclear power plants. The report analyzes the applicability of the guided wave technology to secondary piping systems, as well as studying the potential for expanding the range of guided wave technology to include bent piping and other piping components. The ultrasonic guided waves can inspect long stretches of straight piping; however, more complex geometries such as elbows, welds, and tees are causing spurious reflections and coherent noise, which significantly decreases the sensitivity of the technique. To deal with these limitations, high-definition fiber optic sensors are applied to complex piping geometries, and advanced machine learning algorithms are used to detect deviations from healthy states. This report also analyzes the performance of advanced signal processing and machine learning-based pattern recognition algorithms in detecting defects in secondary structures. It is demonstrated on guided wave data collected at nuclear power plants that the independent component analysis can separate different coherent noise components and segregate them from useful signals. It also demonstrates that advanced machine learning techniques, such as neural networks, support vector machines, and deep learning networks, can detect minor defects present in inspected structures. Recommendation about the applicability of advanced machine learning techniques to online piping monitoring are also given.

Comparing Control Performance Between Simulation and Experiment using the Microreactor Automated Control System Testbed

In the advanced reactor domain, a flexible and scalable software/hardware infrastructure is crucial for integrating and validating various control technologies. This study used the Microreactor Automated Control System (MACS) hardware platform as a testbed. MACS was originally designed to mirror Idaho National Laboratory (INL)'s Microreactor Applications Research Validation and Evaluation (MARVEL), a 85-kW thermal fission microreactor. It features control drums for simulated reactivity control; lights that function as a surrogate reactor core, with the brightness being proportional to the reactor power; and light sensors that emulate neutron detectors. To transform MACS into a physical twin of MARVEL for evaluating control methods, the Control and Optimization Modular Modeling Application for Nuclear Deployment (COMMAND) software was employed. This software integrated the hardware with two models of the MARVEL core, based on Reactor Excursion and Leak Analysis Program (RELAP5-3D) and Monte Carlo N-Particle (MCNP) models. The study aimed to demonstrate the gap between control theory and actual practice—a gap that often necessitates empirical adjustments such as control gain retuning, filters, time discretization, and integrator anti-windup measures. Controllers were developed based on increasingly complex simulations without hardware, starting from the base MARVEL model and then introducing actuator saturation constraints and sensor noise. The final control strategy was then tested using MACS, and a comparative performance analysis was conducted.

Linear Array Ultrasonic Testing Of A Thick Concrete Specimens For Non-Destructive Evaluation

The University of Minnesota and Oak Ridge National Laboratory are collaborating on the design and construction of a concrete specimen with sufficient reinforcement density and cross-sectional size to represent a light water reactor (LWR) containment wall with various defects. The preliminary analysis of the collected data using extended synthetic aperture focussin technique (SAFT) reconstruction indicated a great potential of the ultrasound array technology for locating relatively shallow distresses. However, the resolution and reliability of the analysis is inversely proportional to the defect depth and the amount of reinforcement between the measurement point and the defect location. The objective of this round of testing is to evaluate repeatability of the obtained reconstructions from measurements with different frequencies as well as to examine the effect of the duration of the sending ultrasound signal on the resulting reconstructions. Two series of testing are performed in this study. The objective of the first series is to evaluate repeatability of the measurements and resulting reconstructed images. The measurements use three center frequencies. Five measurements are performed at each location with and without lifting the device. The analysis of the collected data suggested that a linear array ultrasound system can produce reliably repeatable reconstructions using 50 kHz signals for relatively shallow depths (less than 0.5 m). However, for reconstructions at the greater depths the use of lower frequency and/or signal filtering to reduce the effect of signal noise may be required. The objective of the second series of testing is to obtain measurements with various impulse signal durations. The entire grid on the smooth surface is tested with four different various impulse signal durations. An analysis of the resulting extended SAFT reconstructions suggested that Kirchhoff-based migration leads to easier interpreting reconstructions when shorter duration impulse is used. Longer duration impulses may provide useful information for model-based reconstructions.

Unpacking model inadequacy: The quantification of silver release from TRISO fuel by considering empirical and mechanistic approaches

Increasing adoption of the proposed tristructural isotropic (TRISO) particle fuel for both advanced and existing reactors makes it critical to assess and address any uncertainties and inadequacies of TRISO fission product release models. Model inadequacy stems from simplifications made to the computational model when compared to the experiments. The modeling and simulation efforts conducted using the BISON fuel performance code, along with the experimental campaigns carried out under the Advanced Gas Reactor Fuel Development and Qualification Program, afford a unique opportunity to conduct a rigorous modeling inadequacy assessment within the Bayesian uncertainty quantification (UQ) framework. Here, this study compares the standard Bayesian framework against the Kennedy-O'Hagan (KOH) framework, which explicitly represents modeling inadequacy, in regard to UQ for TRISO silver release models. For this purpose, both the traditional Arrhenius equation fitted to experimental data and the more advanced lower-length-scale (LLS)-informed model, which considers microstructure information, are independently considered. Applying the inverse UQ process on the AGR-2 and -3/4 datasets revealed modeling inadequacy to be the most dominant source of uncertainty. Experimental noise uncertainty is also significant; however, model parameter uncertainty can be considered negligible. Interestingly, both the Arrhenius equation and the LLS-informed model demonstrated similar levels of modeling inadequacy. For the forward predictive UQ, the KOH framework improved both the accuracy and quality of quantified uncertainties in comparison to the standard Bayesian framework. This is true for both the Arrhenius equation and the LLS-informed model. In comparing these modeling approaches, both demonstrated similar performance at the engineering scale, while the LLS-informed model expectedly outperformed the Arrhenius equation at the mesoscale. These conclusions highlight the importance of explicitly accounting for modeling inadequacy in the UQ process, and reinforce the need for continuous refinement of physics-based models in order to address the modeling inadequacy.

Aftershock Identification Using a Paired Neural Network Applied to Constructed Data

This report is intended to detail the findings of our investigation of the applicability of machine learning to the task of aftershock identification. The ability to automatically identify nuisance aftershock events to reduce analyst workload when searching for events of interest is an important step in improving nuclear monitoring capabilities and while waveform cross - correlation methods have proven successful, they have limitations (e.g., difficulties with spike artifacts, multiple aftershocks in the same window) that machine learning may be able to overcome. Here we apply a Paired Neural Network (PNN) to a dataset consisting of real, high quality signals added to real seismic noises in order to work with controlled, labeled data and establish a baseline of the PNN's capability to identify aftershocks. We compare to waveform cross - correlation and find that the PNN performs well, outperforming waveform cross - correlation when classifying similar waveform pairs, i.e., aftershocks.

Radiation Testing for High-Resolution Radiation-Hardened Camera System (Final CRADA Report)

The nuclear energy industry needs higher-image quality and higher rad-hard vision systems for refueling and inspection operations that are required every 12-18 months for all operating commercial reactors. During refueling operations, the serial numbers of fuel assemblies need to be visually verified in a challenging high radiation environment with dose rates on the order of 1kGy/hr. at the top of the core (approximately 10 days after shutdown). Vega Wave Systems has developed and built a radiation hard vision system that: 1. has high radiation hardness, 2. demonstrated best in the industry image quality, 3. has small size and weight, and 4. does not suffer from radiation-induced noise. ANL-1060 (02/13/2023) The proprietary Enduray vision system from Vega Wave Systems, Inc. is designed to withstand more than 400x the radiation level of the Vidicon-based systems, currently the highest radiation tolerant system in use today. The Van De Graaff (VDG) electron accelerator at Argonne National Laboratory is ideally suited for testing of Enduray vision system. VDG provides a broad band (up to 3 MeV) x-ray source that reasonably approximates the energy and spectrum of the gamma radiation expected at the top of a nuclear core 10 days after shutdown (~1kGy/hr.), is easily controlled for variable tests, and will not activate the parts under radiation for ease of timely and close inspection and characterization of the system in case of operational issues.

Screening Fuels for Autoignition with Small-Volume Experiments and Gaussian Process Classification

Partially reacting candidate fuels under highly dilute conditions across a range of temperatures provides a means to classify the candidates based on traditional ignition characteristics using much lower quantities (sub-mL) than the full octane tests. Using a classifier based on a Gaussian Process model, synthetic species profiles obtained by plug flow reactor simulations at seven temperatures are used to demonstrate that the configuration can be used to classify 95% of the samples correctly for autoignition sensitivity exceeding a threshold (S = 8) and 100%of the samples correctly for research octane number exceeding a threshold (RON = 90). Molecular beam mass spectrometry (MBMS) experimental data at four temperatures is then used as the model input in a real-world test. Despite the nontrivial relationship between the MBMS measurements and speciation as well as experimental noise it is still possible to classify 95% of the samples correctly for RON and 85% of the samples correctly for S in a 'leave-one-out' cross validation exercise. The test data set consists of 45 fuels and includes a variety of primary reference fuels, ethanol blends and other oxygenates.

Performance Test of Mini LVDT - ELVIS

The Institute for Energy (IFE) Technology has been a pioneer in the development of Linear Variable Differential Transformers (LVDTs) for in-pile testing, deploying over 2,200 units in various reactor environments with less than a 10% failure rate after five years of operation. This report focuses on the performance testing of IFE’s Mini LVDT, a compact sensor ideal for material test reactor experiments. The Mini LVDT, with a limited range of +/- 1.5 mm, offers excellent performance comparable to larger LVDTs, making it valuable in space-constrained applications. The development of an Enhanced Linear Variable Intrinsic Sensor (ELVIS) with internal temperature monitoring capabilities represents a significant advancement, addressing the critical need for real-time, accurate measurements in high-radiation and high-temperature environments. Two ELVIS prototypes were evaluated in terms of both temperature and displacement, showcasing promising results, though challenges with noise during temperature measurements were identified. This report summarizes the rigorous testing performed at Idaho National Laboratory (INL) and highlights the potential applications of Mini LVDTs and ELVIS in nuclear and other high-precision industries.

Characterization of the molten salt FMgNaK through ab initio molecular dynamics and experimental density measurements

The selection of a salt species for use in a molten salt reactor MSR is a key part of any MSR design. However, many salts have sparse or no thermophysical property data sets, especially those with higher melting points. One such salt is the eutectic mixture of (NaF)0.345(KF)0.59(MgF 2 )0.065, or FMgNaK, and is explored here through ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulation (1023-1273K) as well as experimental measurement of the liquid density using the Archimedean method (973-1223K). Predicted densities from AIMD are similar to experimentally-measured densities, though with more noise, suggesting that the small scale necessitated by AIMD simulations may be problematic for simulating FMgNaK in particular. Here the coefficient of thermal expansion is predicted from simulation, and salt structure is characterized. Mg-F-Mg chaining is observed in the salt network, though the low concentration of Mg inhibits chaining on the scale that is observed in (LiF) 0.67 (BeF 2 ) 0.33 , or FLiBe.

A new method for in situ structural investigations of nano-sized amorphous and crystalline materials using mixed-flow reactors

Structural investigations of amorphous and nanocrystalline phases forming in solution are historically challenging. Few methods are capable of in situ atomic structural analysis and rigorous control of the system. A mixed-flow reactor (MFR) is used for total X-ray scattering experiments to examine the short- and long-range structure of phases in situ with pair distribution function (PDF) analysis. The adaptable experimental setup enables data collection for a range of different system chemistries, initial supersaturations and residence times. The age of the sample during analysis is controlled by adjusting the flow rate. Faster rates allow for younger samples to be examined, but if flow is too fast not enough data are acquired to average out excess signal noise. Slower flow rates form older samples, but at very slow speeds particles settle and block flow, clogging the system. Proper background collection and subtraction is critical for data optimization. Overall, this MFR method is an ideal scheme for analyzing the in situ structures of phases that form during crystal growth in solution. As a proof of concept, high-resolution total X-ray scattering data of amorphous and crystalline calcium phosphates and amorphous calcium carbonate were collected for PDF analysis.

A combined phase contrast imaging and heterodyne interferometer system for multiscale fluctuation measurements (invited)

In this work, a novel combined diagnostic capable of measuring multiscale density fluctuations that extend from magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) to the lower range of electron temperature gradient turbulence has been designed, installed, and operated at DIII-D. The combined diagnostic was constructed by adding a heterodyne interferometer to the pre-existing phase contrast imaging (PCI) system, both of which measure line-integrated electron density fluctuations. The port-space footprint is minimized via use of a single 10.6 μm probe beam. With temporal bandwidths in excess of 1 MHz, the PCI measures high-k (1.5 cm -1 < |k R | ≤ 25 cm -1 ) fluctuations with sensitivity 3×10 13 m -2 /$\sqrt{kHz}$, while the interferometer simultaneously measures low-k (|k R | < 5 cm -1 ) fluctuations with sensitivity 3×10 14 m -2 /$\sqrt{kHz}$. The intentional mid-k overlap has been empirically verified with sound-wave calibrations and allows quantitative investigation of multiscale effects that are predicted to be significant in the reactor-relevant T e ~ T i regime. Lastly, via correlation with the primary DIII-D interferometer, the toroidal mode numbers of core-localized MHD can be measured.

High Dose Rate Irradiations of Enduray Vision System for Nuclear Inspections

Higher radiation-hardened video cameras are needed in the operation and remote handling of equipment in nuclear reactor inspection and refueling applications. Vega Wave Systems, Inc. has developed a radiation-hardened vision system for nuclear energy applications. This vision system has been developed under several small business innovative research programs (SBIRs) from the U.S. Department of Energy, and the previous GAIN voucher program at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) was successful in demonstrating that a prototype of the camera is radiation-hard up to at least 525 kGy (5.25 × 106 rad, Si equivalent) at dose rates of 10 kGy/hr with no measurable degradation in image quality and no measurable radiation-induced noise (RIN). Vega Wave Systems has developed a new version of the camera with more than 3X the resolution using a new design and new components, and this new design requires radiation-hardness qualification for marketplace acceptance. The program described in this report provided high radiation-hardness testing of this redesigned high-resolution vision system using the Argonne Low-Energy Accelerator Facility (LEAF). This report presents the results of irradiation tests performed on Vega Wave System’s redesigned high resolution vision system at a dose rate of 9.3 kGy/hr and up to total doses of 1823 kGy. This was an accumulation of 197 hours of irradiation. The results were excellent, providing proof of the redesigned high-resolution vision system’s immunity to high levels of radiation.
