From Development to Deployment: Digital Twins for University Research Reactors

Digital twins hold significant promise for the future nuclear fleet, to support enhanced situational awareness, optimal operations and maintenance planning, advanced and autonomous control, and transparent regulation. University research reactors provide unique testbeds to explore some of these applications, and much work has progressed in this area over the last few years. This panel will explore the opportunities, research and development, and lessons learned in deploying digital twins in university research reactors.
