SUMMARY:STEP Siting: Oldbury & Berkeley (Severn Edge) Community Forum
DESCRIPTION:The UKAEA (UK Atomic Energy Authority) is currently looking for a site in the UK to host the world's first prototype fusion energy plant\, known as STEP (Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production). Of the fifteen longlisted sites\, only five now remain\, and the Severn Edge nomination proposes to reuse two sites at Oldbury in South Gloucestershire and Berkeley in Gloucestershire. \nFusion is the process that powers the universe. It has the potential to provide a near-limitless source of low-carbon energy by copying the processes that power the sun and stars where atoms are fused to release energy. \nSTEP is a UKAEA programme that will demonstrate the ability to generate net electricity from fusion. It will also determine how a fusion energy plant will be maintained throughout its operational life\, and prove the potential for it to produce its own fuel. \nSTEP’s mission is to deliver a UK prototype fusion energy plant\, targeting 2040\, and a path to commercial viability of fusion. Finding a home for STEP is one of the key objectives of the first phase of the programme and\, as Severn Edge is one of five shortlisted communities\, we want to hear your thoughts and feeling about the project. \nJoin this community focussed online forum to learn more about the programme\, and give your feedback first hand.

SUMMARY:Game Changers: January Tech Talk
DESCRIPTION:Game Changers Technology Talks are aimed at anyone who is interested in technical innovation in the nuclear industry\, learning about cutting-edge research developments and understanding how the Game Changers programme helps solve challenges which can’t be met with off the shelf solutions. \nThis month's webinar will feature: \nSabrina Shirazi\, NNUF Hot Robotics\n \nThe National Nuclear User Facility for Hot Robotics (NNUF-HR) is an EPSRC funded programme. It assists UK academia and industry to deliver ground-breaking\, impactful research into the use of robotics and AI in extreme environments\, by providing opportunities to access cutting-edge equipment and expertise. The aim of the NNUF-HR is to support the UK ambition for more cost-effective decommissioning\, nuclear new-build\, advanced modular fission reactors and future fusion powerplants. Sabrina will share the facilities available via Hot Robotics and how you can access them. \nRob Sharratt\, Remote Maintenance Systems\nThe hazardous and congested environments combined with difficult access\, mean that decommissioning and dismantling radioactive nuclear cells and gloveboxes is a complex task. Manual decommissioning is hazardous for the operator and extremely time consuming and therefore the development of an effective remote deployment capability may facilitate safer\, cheaper decommissioning and reduce secondary waste generation. \nRMS is developing a ground-breaking Modular Tube Deployment System (MTDS) to enable access to hazardous nuclear environments efficiently and effectively\, while keeping human operatives safely out of harm. In this talk\, Rob will provide an outline of the functionality of the MTDS\, its possible uses and the staged process of development from initial concept idea through to full scale prototype.  \nRegistration\nRegistration is via Eventbrite.

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.
