Gradient-based optimization of nuclear criticality experiments using neural surrogate eigenvalue sensitivities
Will Savage, Logan Burnett, Dean Price
The validation of advanced nuclear reactor designs and fuel concepts will require the design of new critical experiments with high neutronic similarity to the target technology. Ne…
CTF4Nuclear: Common Task Framework for Nuclear Fission and Fusion Models
Stefano Riva, Carolina Introini, Antonio Cammi +13
The demand for clean energy is ever increasing, with new nuclear technologies presenting a complementary solution to renewable energies. However, designing and operating these syst…
Techno-economic optimization of a heat-pipe microreactor, part II: multi-objective optimization analysis
Paul Seurin, Dean Price
Heat-pipe microreactors (HPMRs) are compact and transportable nuclear power systems exhibiting inherent safety, well-suited for deployment in remote regions where access is limited…
Techno-economic optimization of a heat-pipe microreactor, part I: theory and cost optimization
Paul Seurin, Dean Price, Luis Nunez
Microreactors, particularly heat-pipe microreactors (HPMRs), are compact, transportable, self-regulated power systems well-suited for access-challenged remote areas where costly fo…
