FPoliSolutions demonstrates RISE, an RIPB systems engineering tool
The American Nuclear Society’s Risk-informed, Performance-based Principles and Policy Committee (RP3C) has held another presentation in its monthly Community of Practice (CoP) series. Former RP3C chair N. Prasad Kadambi opened the October 3 meeting with brief introductory remarks about the RP3C and the need for new approaches to nuclear design that go beyond conventional and deterministic methods. He then welcomed this month’s speakers: Mike Mankosa, a project engineer at FPoliSolutions, and Cesare Frepoli, the company’s president, who together presented “Introduction to RISE: A Digital Framework for Maintaining a Risk-Informed Safety Case for Current and Next Generation Nuclear Power Plants.”

A TRF (Tritium Removal Facility) will be constructed at Wolsong Nuclear Generating station to remove the tritium from heavy water. Titanium sponge has been selected as suitable material for tritium product immobilization. This paper is a summary of the experimental results conducted for the various properties of the reaction between titanium sponge and hydrogen isotopes. The conditions for activation, hydriding and dehydriding were investigated. The factors such as initial gas pressure and the helium content in the gas stream influencing the hydriding rate of the bed were examined.
