      Nuclear Criticality Safety

      Nuclear Criticality Safety

      NCSD provides communication among nuclear criticality safety professionals through the development of standards, the evolution of training methods and materials, the presentation of technical data and procedures, and the creation of specialty publications. In these ways, the division furthers the exchange of technical information on nuclear criticality safety with the ultimate goal of promoting the safe handling of fissionable materials outside reactors.

      Argonne creates new methodology for digital twins

      Hu

      Argonne National Laboratory has added a new twist to digital twin technology for research into nuclear energy. According to Rui Hu, a principal nuclear engineer at Argonne, “Our digital twin technology introduces a significant step toward understanding and managing advanced nuclear reactors, enabling us to predict and respond to changes with the required speed and accuracy.”

      The research of Hu and his colleagues, “Development of Whole System Digital Twins for Advanced Reactors: Leveraging Graph Neural Networks and SAM Simulations,” was published in the American Nuclear Society journal Nuclear Technology.

      Virtual representation: A digital twin technology is an accurate virtual representation of a complex system. It is updated with real-time data from sensors applied to the physical system, such as a nuclear reactor.

Edward (Ted) L. Quinn

ANS President 1998-1999

Edward L. Quinn has been an ANS member since 1984. He is active in the Aerospace Nuclear Science & Technology, Human Factors Instrumentation & Controls and Operations & Power Divisions.

He is the president of Technology Resources and has over 35 years experience in managing nuclear and fossil utility contracts, as well as expertise in personnel in support of both project and supplemental assignments at various utilities in the U.S.

He has managed and performed projects in licensing and compliance, electrical and controls design, and start-up and operation, including standards development for the Instrument Society of America (ISA) and the International Electro-technical Commission (IEC). Quinn is also the author of over 50 papers and presentations on nuclear instrumentation and control subjects.

His other experience includes instructor at the MIT Summer Reactor Safety Course for over 15 years and is a board member of the nuclear engineering programs at Oregon State University and Ohio State University.

Quinn currently provides the licensing support for the eight awarded Invensys Operations Management (IOM) nuclear projects in China. In 2009, he was awarded the 1906 Award for the Development of Standards, the highest award in IEC. Two years later, he received the ANS Walter Zinn Award, named after the first President of ANS.

His educational background includes a BS in Electrical Engineering from Tufts University, Medford, MA, and a Masters in Management from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, N.Y. Quinn experience also includes Naval Nuclear Qualified Shift Test Engineer (NAVSEA 08).
