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.

Countdown to 2030 - Framing the Nuclear Technology Agenda for the Next 10 Years
Online Virtual Meeting
Thank you for registering for our 2020 ANS Virtual Annual Meeting! We genuinely appreciate the support you and your organization have shown ANS and the nuclear science and technology community during this unprecedented time.
We know. There is no substitute for real, in-the-flesh energy of fellowship an ANS meeting offers. However, we are committed to enabling the most robust technical exchange and insightful strategic dialogue possible with the virtual tools we have at our disposal. Remember, registration gives you full on-demand access to meeting content shortly after its conclusion, so take full advantage of the content in our plenaries and technical sessions.
The countdown to 2030 is on!
See you soon.
