SUMMARY:'Nuclear End States' Industry/Academic Networking Workshop
DESCRIPTION:This event is open to nuclear industry professionals as well as academics and early career researchers of any discipline.  \n Book a space on the workshop here. \n  \nAll nuclear reactors and other types of nuclear facilities must reach an agreed site end state after the end of their operational life\, which spans many decades. This will include decommissioning\, decontamination\, full or partial demolition of buildings and remediation of land. All materials generated through this process\, as well as radioactive waste generated through the operational lifetime of the reactor\, must be managed appropriately\, in accordance with the level of risk of that material\, for timescales of up to a million years. This includes landfill\, at-surface disposal\, near-surface disposal\, deep geological disposal\, and in some cases\, in-situ disposal. These timescales bring unique environmental challenges\, for example\, around climate change\, long-term prediction and monitoring. \nAttaining "nuclear end states" efficiently and cost-effectively requires blue-sky thinking and state-of-the-art engineering\, with strong networking between academia and those organizations responsible for bringing nuclear sites to the end of their life. Managing the environment during the multi-decade operational lifetime of nuclear reactors also brings unique challenges that research is required to resolve. \nThis workshop hosted by the South West Nuclear Hub is an opportunity to hear from industry and Government representatives about nuclear end states\, the challenges that remain in attaining them\, and how academic research across the disciplines could support this. Industry attendees include Nuclear Waste Services\, Sellafield and EDF\, with more to be confirmed. Academic speakers will highlight emerging areas of research that are being\, or could be\, used to support nuclear end states\, as well as other environmental factors associated with the safe long-term operation and management of nuclear sites. \nWe aim to highlight potential funding opportunities\, build support for a developing a bid for a NERC Centre for Doctoral Training in Nuclear End States (subject to internal processes) and to host a structured networking event\, to establish new academic-industry partnerships. \nThis event is open to nuclear industry professionals as well as academics and early career researchers of any discipline\, including\, but not limited to: Earth Sciences\, Civil Engineering\, Materials Science & Engineering\, Geographical Sciences\, Advanced Manufacturing\, Anthropology\, Policy Studies\, Sociology\, Biological Sciences\, Design Engineering\, Chemistry\, Computer Science\, Mechanical Engineering\, Physics etc. \nThis workshop is co-funded by the Cabot Institute Community Event Fund.

SUMMARY:Inescapable Obligations: Guest Lecture with Professor Tim Stone CBE
DESCRIPTION:In a very much dynamic political environment with a strong drive to net-zero emissions\, the nuclear sector has eventually made its way in the UK to survive.  Nuclear Fission Power is expected to grow  with the advent of at least 2 EPRs\, Rolls Royce SMRs and High Temperature Gas Reactors. If the government is to achieve even a fraction of the ambition of the Prime Minister there will need to be more.  But\, what has changed? What happened in the last 6 months that change the pathway from a withered to a flourishing  industry\, and more importantly is it going to help us achieve net-zero? \n Visiting Prof Tim Stone CBE will be speaking about the recent changes in political and financing environment and what were the key aspects of the UK nuclear industry that makes it a robust and reliable sector to support net-zero ambitions. He’ll start out with a wider picture look at the ultimate roles which the State cannot\, ever\, escape and why - and use that as the context for his lecture.  He might even bring in references to the Bank of England and financial regulation to illustrate the wider point. What is clear\, is that government have inescapable obligations which even they don’t realise until a relevant crisis hits.  \nSpeaker: Professor Tim Stone CBE\nTim Stone is Chair of the Nuclear Industry Association and also Nuclear Risk Insurers\, which insures over 320 licenced sites globally. He has a wealth of experience in infrastructure\, nuclear power and finance\, with several years’ experience working closely with government and industry in a variety of roles. \nTim was a member of the board of Horizon Nuclear Power from 2014-2021 and of the Board of the European Investment Bank from 2003-2018. Until 2013\, Tim was the Expert Chair of the Office for Nuclear Development in DECC and the Senior Advisor to five successive Secretaries of State responsible for energy. In 2021 Tim was made a Visiting Professor at the University of Bristol.  \n \n  \nAttendance \nThis lecture will take place on Tuesday 17th May 22 at 6:00 pm in Room 1.40 Pugsley Lecture Theatre\, Queens Building at the University of Bristol.  Sandwiches and drinks will be available from 5.30pm.  \nIt is free to attend but to help predict numbers please register via the Linkedin event page. \n Register

SUMMARY:Data Week 2021: Engineering with Digital Twins
DESCRIPTION:This session explores the fundamentals of digital twins in an environment where equipment integrity\, operation\, and safety are traditionally supported by engineering simulations. \nBacked by a wealth of experience across industries\, we will cover how it works\, benefits\, challenges\, and tips on doing it successfully\, with Q&A. We particularly welcome questions about challenges from your industry. No expertise required to attend. \nEngineering simulations help us turn information we have into information we want\, to help us make decisions. In this context\, these decisions might be about when to carry out maintenance\, or when to replace equipment. This reduces cost\, as equipment can be run longer or in more extreme conditions; it can improve safety\, reducing the likelihood of unexpected failure. \nHigh degree-of-freedom models can provide accurate simulations of systems from first principles\, such as FEA\, CFD and EM solvers. With the right validation\, these provide effective ways of turning selected input data into more useful data for life predictions. The issue with these is usually one of speed\, limiting the use of simulations to single case analyses or short selections. \nAn engineering simulation can be seen as an expensive and complex mapping function\, taking a small set of inputs to deterministically produce a large set of outputs. Treating the complex simulation as a ‘grey-box’ control system\, pulling together techniques of system classification\, machine learning\, data-driven methods and classical engineering physics\, a minimal alternative to the mapping function can be found: our Reduced Order Model or Digital Twin. These can drastically reduce simulation times to generate new results from new inputs\, from hours to milliseconds. \nThis physics-based approach to system classification is key to providing confidence in safety\, particularly in a regulatory environment. \nThe speed of these methods opens the possibilities of new outcomes\, such as real-time monitoring and probabilistic assessments. Counter-intuitively these simple models\, when used right\, can increase the fidelity of predictions. \nAbout the speaker\n \nDanny Thomas (Norton Straw): Is a multi-disciplinary consulting engineer with wide-ranging experience in simulations for structural integrity and creating engineering software. \nNorton Straw\, Innovation members of the South West Nuclear Hub\, are consultants with deep technical expertise in engineering\, applied mathematics and technical software\, based in Bristol and Derby. \nRegistration\nRegistration for this event is via Eventbrite. It will take place online.  \n Register\nData Week Online 2021\nThis event is part of Data Week Online 2021\, organised by the Jean Golding Institute.

SUMMARY:Data Week 2021: the Nuclear Industry x Data Science Experts Workshop
DESCRIPTION:The Nuclear Industry x Data Science Experts: Challenge Collaboration Workshop\nThis event will be hosted and chaired by Danny Thomas\, Principal Engineer at Norton Straw Consultants.  \nData generated by the nuclear industry has increased exponentially\, thus requiring new and efficient analysis methods. While the need for data science and AI is clear\, defining solutions to specific problems and finding exact methodologies to tackle them is lacking. This session presents four areas in which the nuclear industry requires data science expertise.  \nDesigned as a match-making workshop\, we invite you to join and help us tackle these challenges: \nRadiation Sensor Networks & Multiple Networked detectors – Whilst providing considerable data volumes\, these are not currently fully utilised to understand the nature and evolution of the contributing radioactivity. Led by Dr Peter Martin\, University of Bristol  \nMicro-structurally informed simulation models – Currently physically based and accurate\, these only simulate a tiny volume of materials\, insignificant to real component size. Data driven\, AI enabled surrogate models are required to offer more realistic solutions for extending their applicability. Led by Professor Mahmoud Mostafavi\, University of Bristol  \nInterrogating microstructure and damage- Scanning electron microscopy and electron back-scatter diffraction are extensively used to explore degradation mechanisms. However\, data volumes extracted are prohibitively large for manual analysis. Analysis is also beyond physics agnostic image processing software\, as user experience in deciphering images is invaluable. It is therefore desirable to capture the underlying user decision process through an AI algorithm and combine it with data analysis to efficiently sift the large data gathered in each experiment. Led by Alisa Sratulat\, Mipar Image Analysis \nNon-Destructive Evaluation (NDE) measurements - Performed on in-service components to assess safety and confirm material evolution is consistent with model predictions\, most NDE measurements are now digital\, enabling the acquisition of high-fidelity data at unprecedented scales. Thus\, there is a pressing need for complete automation of the data analysis workflow. Led by Professor Paul Wilcox\, University of Bristol  \nRegistration\nRegistration for this event is via Eventbrite. It will take place online.  \n Register\nData Week Online 2021\nThis event is part of Data Week Online 2021\, organised by the Jean Golding Institute.

SUMMARY:Data Week 2021: Nuclear Structural Integrity & Data Automation
DESCRIPTION:Nuclear Structural Integrity & Data Automation: A Roadmap\nHosted by The South West Nuclear Hub\, The Alan Turing Institute special interest group in engineering structural integrity and the EDF SINDRI Prosperity Partnership project. \nChair: Nawal Prinja\, Technology Director at Jacobs Clean Energy Ltd.   \nPanellists: \n\nProfessor Paul Wilcox – Professor of Dynamics and Alan Turing Institute Fellow at the University of Bristol\nAndy Gettings - Structural Integrity Branch Manager at EDF UK\nDr Daniel Cogswell - UKRI Future Leaders Fellow at the University of Sheffield\nRob Akers – Advanced Computing Department Manager at UK Atomic Energy Authority\nDr Alisa Sratulat – Technology Manager – AI for Materials at Mipar Image Analysis\nDr Simon Lewis – Nuclear\, renewables and power generation\, Norton Straw\n\nA session highlighting key areas driving data automation in nuclear structural integrity. The presentation will set the scene by presenting a high-level description of the roadmap by industry leads. \nSafe operation of safety critical plants\, such as nuclear\, is underpinned by structural integrity assessments of their key components. A structural integrity assessment examines the mechanical state of a structure to determine if it is fit for purpose and safe to operate. At the heart of the process are the material performance models\, which use knowledge of loading and operating conditions of components as well as their histories as input. \nThe material performance models are built on micro/meso scale material characterisation and modelling\, supported by a vast legacy of scientific literature and industrial experience. Further\, Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE) measurements are performed in-service to confirm that the evolution of the material is consistent with model predictions. If discrepancies are found\, the assessment models can be updated. \nThe vast in-service data therefore provides the feedback loop that maintains alignment between the physical and digital domains. The complexity of the underpinning models\, the acquisition of high-fidelity digital NDE data\, and the need for fast processing of the data and updating the models are key drivers for complete automation of the data analysis workflow. \nRegistration\nAccess the Zoom link via the button below.  \nN.b.

SUMMARY:Advanced Modular Reactor Webinar Series: Stable Salt Reactors
DESCRIPTION:Stable Salt Reactors – Dr Ian Scott\, Moltex Energy\n \nWednesday 7th October\, 12.30-1.30pm\nMoltex Energy are developing an inherently safe Stable Salt Reactor (SSR) which aims to provide carbon-free electricity generation technology with low upfront costs and reliable\, large-scale power at 300-500 MW per reactor unit. In addition to the ability to store energy for release in times of high energy demand\, the technology can recycle nuclear waste as fuel\, operate at high temperature to produce Hydrogen and use Thorium as an alternative to Urainium. The talk will be delivered by Moltex Chairman & Chief Scientist Ian Scott. \nSpeaker biography\nIan went to Cambridge University to study nuclear physics\, but was seduced during his first year by the excitement of the fast moving biological sciences and made his first career in that field. He became one of the four Chief Scientists in Unilever’s international organisation\, leading the global bioscience program before leaving to found an entrepreneurial drug discovery company. \nIn 2012 he became bemused by how nuclear energy had gone from being "too cheap to meter" to too expensive to afford and determined to try to remedy that flaw which was preventing nuclear energy making any meaningful contribution to fighting the climate change crisis. The result was his invention of the Stable Salt Reactor and the creation of Moltex Energy. \n\nRegistration\nRegistration and hosting of the webinar is via the Institute of Physics. \n[button link="https://www.events.iop.org/stable-salt-reactor" bg_color="#806ab7" border="#806ab7" window="yes"]Event page[/button]\nAdvanced Modular Reactor Webinar Series\nThe UK Government has recently announced a £40m investment to bring forward next generation nuclear energy technology. These “Advanced Modular Reactors” (AMRs) have the potential to unlock new applications for nuclear technology in the carbon-neutral economy of the future – going beyond grid electricity to include the supply of heat\, production of Hydrogen\, power to communities and industries in remote parts of the world and supporting intermittent renewable supply by storing energy. \nIn this series of webinars we will hear from the companies developing the technology – the three projects selected for BEIS funding and Moltex Energy who are forging ahead with first deployment in Canada. \nYou can register for the other webinars in this series via the Advanced Modular Reactor series registration link.

SUMMARY:Breeder Blanket Design in Fusion Reactors: Innovations and Challenges
DESCRIPTION:IDOM has been contracted by UKAEA to develop a novel breeder blanket design concept to be used in the Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production (STEP) Fusion Power Plant. The STEP programme aims at accelerating the delivery of sustainable fusion energy thus\, IDOM’s task was to develop an innovative conceptual design for a breeder blanket that is overcoming the various challenges facing the existing breeder blankets’ designs. \nIn this webinar\, the speakers will give an overview of IDOM capabilities and experience in Fusion Energy\, introduce the breeder blanket technology and working principals. Then\, the speakers will talk more specifically about their recent experience and involvement in the STEP project explaining the methodology adopted to develop the breeder blanket conceptual design proposal for the STEP programme. \nCredit: EUROfusion\nThis methodology involved conducting a series of analyses on different breeder blanket designs covering the material properties and their compatibility\, the design configuration\, the neutronics analysis\, the thermal-hydraulics analysis\, a preliminary structural analysis\, safety aspects\, and waste segregation and disposal. These analyses were conducted to identify the design features and constraints of each of those designs and to understand the challenges facing them to be able to come up with an innovative conceptual design proposal that combines the advantages and overcomes the challenges. \nSpeakers\n  \nFrancisco Calvo  -Project Manager in IDOM's Nuclear Department\, mainly working on projects related to advanced mechanical design and computational analysis. \nSergio Sádaba -  Technical Specialist in IDOM's  Nuclear Department responsible for design-by-analysis in thermo-mechanical components. \nJorge Fradera - Nuclear Engineer at IDOM. He is a senior nuclear analyst\, tritium expert\, CFD specialist\, scientific applications programmer and fusion technology developer. \n\nRegistration\nPlease register via the Institute of Physics. \n[button link="https://www.iopconferences.org/iop/frontend/reg/thome.csp?pageID=971035&eventID=1533&CSPCHD=001001000000mpeUf191iYOK2rikbLluYjTTlUxWI7inZrwFhk" bg_color="#806ab7" border="#806ab7" window="yes"]Event page[/button]\n
