The inaugural national laboratory-led Digital Engineering conference, led by Idaho National Laboratory, hosted a two-hour virtual session in October 2022. This was followed by a more in-depth in-person event in April 2023.
The virtual event, “Digital Engineering: Aligning Federal Government Needs with National Laboratory Capabilities,” was hosted by Idaho National Laboratory’s Digital Innovation Center Of Excellence (DICE).
It connected federal program offices interested in pursuing digital engineering solutions with national laboratory staff members responsible for developing these solutions. Federal government representatives from across the Department of Energy and Department of Defense participated.
This workshop provided a forum for the nuclear industry and digital twin stakeholders to discuss the application of digital twins and digital twin-enabling technologies such as advanced sensors and instrumentation, data analytics, machine learning and artificial intelligence in the current light water reactor fleet and advanced reactor designs. The workshop also included an overview of the next steps toward regulatory realization of digital twins in the nuclear industry.
This workshop focused on the use of domain-aware methods to develop AI systems that enhance U.S. nuclear proliferation detection and address the unique challenges of this mission.
This workshop provided a forum for the nuclear industry and digital twin stakeholders to discuss the state of knowledge and research activities related to digital twin and their application in the nuclear industry. The purpose of the workshop is to assess the current understanding of digital twins and identify their potential benefits, opportunities and challenges for nuclear reactors.
