TerraPower will be presenting and interactively demonstrating its nuclear engineering automation platform which was recently open-sourced on GitHub (see https://github.com/terrapower/armi). This system provides a reactor at your fingertips. When you hook your existing analysis tools into it or build a new analysis tool upon it, you can automate entire analysis methodologies with a high-level Python interface. This allows new levels of cross-team communication and collaboration that we believe (from our internal experience) can revolutionize productivity in nuclear engineering analysis. We open sourced it specifically to inspire collaboration in the industry and to minimize re-work of “commodity” data management so you can focus on what really matters: pushing the envelope in reactor delivery. In this session, we will introduce the ARMI framework as a concept, explain how to download it, and go through a few interactive demonstrations to give you an idea of how to use it. If you want to follow along, try downloading and installing it off of github in advance. After this workshop, you should know enough to connect your team’s research tooling into the ARMI framework.
