ACORN (Autonomous Operation for Reactor Technologies)
Low riskExact public inventory row
Description
AI automatically identifies process models from simulation and operational data, solves for optimal control actions that can achieve user-defined objectives, executes actions and observes system responses
Detailed example
optimal control actions
AI / analytics pattern
Classical/Predictive Machine Learning: Models trained on data to make predictions or classifications based on identified patterns or relationships.
Automation level / stage
b) Pilot – The use case has been deployed in a limited test or pilot capacity.
Expected benefit
reduce labor and costs to performance operation tasks in advanced reactors and microreactors
Audit / financial statement impact
currently focusing on reactor simulator or auxilary moderator displacement rod with minimal impacts on reactor safety
Controls / human review
ATO: Yes; PIA: Not published
