Fee

The course is free of charge. Participants have nevertheless to cover their own expenses (travel, food, and accommodation).

Course theme

The overall objective of the workshop will focus on the application of advanced signal processing methods and statistical characterization of plant measurements, which can be applied to reactor core monitoring and dynamic sensor surveillance. Signal processing methods and learning methodologies are developed not only on simulation data but also on real plant data from PWR types such as a pre-KONVOI 3-loop, a pre-KONVOI 4-loop reactor, a VVER 440 reactor, a VVER 1000 reactor, two 4-loop PWRs, and one 3-loop PWR.

Programme

The programme of this workshop will be the following:

  • Introduction of the CORTEX project
  • Neutron noise simulation for the development and testing
  • Advanced signal processing techniques (FFT, Multiresolution Wavele Analysis, Huang Hilbert Transformation)
  • State-of-the-art machine learning methodologies (artificial neural networks and fuzzy logic methodologies)
  • Panel discussion
Learning objective

The intention is to provide information about the future possibilities and solutions for safe recognition of non-standard nuclear reactor operation conditions.

Target audience
  • Diagnostic staff of the nuclear industry
  • Research institutes
  • Universities
How to come to the Workshop

Workshop will be arranged at the main conference room of ÚJV Conference Centre, access will be clearly signposted.

By car:

Drive onto the highway D8 direction Dresden, Teplice and Usti nad Labem.

  • Take exit 1 direction Zdiby, road No 608, turn to the right direction Zdiby, road No 608
  • Take 2nd exit at first roundabout direction Odolená voda and Klíčany, road No 608
  • Take 2nd exit at second roundabout direction Odolená voda and Klíčany, road No 608
  • Take 3rd exit at third roundabout direction Klecany, then go straight, at next crossroad go straight direction Husinec, at next crossroad (stop sign, be careful !) follow signs to ÚJV Řež, at next crossroad go straight direction Řež. Then follow the road downhill till the square in front of the ÚJV, ask security member at reception for parking place, if available.

==> Stop at the crossed lines in front of the ÚJV and ask security member for parking place nearby.
