Description

Improving nuclear light water reactor fleet’s operation faces substantial challenges as modernization process is cost, time, and resource intensive but doesn’t guaranty desired performances. How you will address this problem Nuclear light water reactor fleet’s operation process will be improved by developing an online based, technology centric and scalable artificial intelligence software platform for predictive maintenance monitoring solution, for eliminating modernization time and cost, reducing plant shutdown, extending plant life, enabling increased production and lowering production cost. What will be accomplished in Phase I? A proof of concept of the technology at a limited scale will be developed to demonstrate that the technology in fact is possible to build and capable of eliminating modernization time, cost and able to create solutions to address the problems nuclear plants are facing. Commercial Applications and Other Benefits If built in full scale, in addition to nuclear industry, the technology will also be utilized for the business process improvement of oil & gas and renewable energy to tackle climate change.
