Enabling Technologies for Digital Twin Applications for Advanced Reactors and Plant Modernization

Online Workshop

September 14-16, 2021 (all times EST)

This workshop will provide 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 LWR fleet and advanced reactor designs. The workshop will also include an overview of the next steps toward regulatory realization of digital twins in the nuclear industry.
