Advanced Manufacturing for Nuclear Energy

Advanced Telescope for High Energy Nuclear Astrophysics Athena

We present a space mission concept for a low energy gamma-ray telescope, ATHENA, which is under investigation as the next major advance in gamma-ray spectroscopy following the current COMPTON Gamma Ray Observatory and the planned INTEGRAL missions. The instrument c o v ers the nuclear line emission energy domain with dramatically improved sensitivity and spectral resolution. The baseline conngu...

Uncertainty Quantification and Management for Multi-scale Nuclear Materials Modeling Nuclear Energy Advanced Modeling and Simulation

To validate multiscale simulation models, it is necessary to consider evidence collected at a length scale that is different from the one at which a model predicts. In addition, epistemic and aleatory uncertainties need to be distinguished for more robust decision making. In this study, a Bayesian approach with generalized interval probability is taken for model parameter validation. A generali...

Advanced Manufacturing Technology

Within the last decade, the importance of flexibility and efficiency has increased in the manufacturing sector. The rising level of uncertainty in consumer preferences has caused many organizations to aggressively search for cost reductions and other sources of competitive advantage. The small and medium scale industries (SMIs) are the backbone of the industrialization process in developing and...

Status of Researches on Advanced Nuclear Energy System in China

It is estimated that around the middle of this century China requires an installed capacity up to 1 200 GW. In order to realise this target, fully taking into account the production capacity of coal, oil, natural gas and the renewable energy sources such as waterpower, a fairly large gap still remains. To fill in this gap, the nuclear power is regarded as a best choice in China case because it ...
