Going Nuclear: Notes from the officially unofficial book tour
I work in the analytical labs at one of Europe’s oldest and largest nuclear sites: Sellafield, in northwestern England. I spend my days at the fume hood front, pipette in one hand and radiation probe in the other (and dosimeter pinned to my chest, of course). Outside the lab, I have a second job: I moonlight as a writer and public speaker. My new popular science book—Going Nuclear: How the Atom Will Save the World—came out last summer, and it feels like my life has been running at full power ever since.

Machine-learning models have generated a lot of interest in thermal hydraulics and are starting to penetrate the practice of engineering and design. However, the methods on verification, validation and uncertainty quantification are not routinely applied and the methodology is still in development. The panelists will discuss their experience with ML-based model applications and development and the challenges of V&V and UQ approaches towards ML.
