      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.

Biographies

Dr. Arielle Miller

Dr. Miller is a Black woman of mixed race – Sicilian, African American, and Jewish. She attended Northwestern University in the Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps, receiving a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Physics and her commission in the US Navy in 2003. She served five years as a nuclear-trained surface warfare officer. She is also a service-disabled veteran, having served in Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom.
She holds a master’s degree in Nuclear Engineering from North Carolina State University and a doctorate in Mechanical Engineering from Howard University. She is the third woman in Howard University’s history to receive a doctoral degree in Mechanical Engineering.
For the past seven years, Dr. Miller has worked for the federal government, first in nuclear safety oversight and now as a leader in innovation. In 2020, she co-founded the MGAM Scholarship Foundation, a non-profit scholarship program for young Black and African American women entering college.

MIDN W. M. Schleper

MIDN Schleper enlisted in the United States Navy following high school in 2019. He served for two years, finishing nuclear training and receiving orders to the USS Idaho, then being built. He was accepted to the US Naval Academy in June 2021. MIDN Schleper credits his enlistment for his being accepted at the Academy. He is also President of the American Nuclear Society Student Section at the Academy.

Julie McCallum

Julie McCallum is a manager of data and analysis in the policy division at the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI). She has a B.S. in Industrial Engineering from Georgia Tech and studies at Columbia University in Sustainability Management. She entered the nuclear industry through utility planning and finance in Georgia. Julie is the secretary of the ANS Young Members Group and a former programs committee co-chair.



The See It, Be It: Exploring Options for Your Future in Nuclear program is supported in part by a generous grant from Constellation.
