The document discusses nuclear computation approaches and developments. It describes how fast computing developments can guide dangerous experiments like in nuclear reactors, complementing direct measurements. Collaboration across fields is needed, especially the underlying sciences for measurements. The speaker presents on TensorFlow, GPU and distributed computing applications in nuclear physics like reconstructing fusion plasmas. Real-time computation can guide fusion reactor experiments every 20 minutes based on pushed data and inverse problem calculations.

8. Two cases
• One case of the computation in future nuclear
engineering is for a new field of innovative
nuclear engineering under development 
Innovative nuclear reactors case
• In another case, the development of the
computer enables calculation that was
impossible to date  Accident managements
case

A majority of the codes
represent the cylindrical fuel
rod in a so-called one-and-
a-half dimension (1.5D). In
such simulation tools, all
transport processes are
solved in one (radial)
dimension, and the axial
segments are coupled via
balance equations. Hence,
the solution of the transport
processes is usually
programmed in separate
modules for each axial
slice, using couplers to
manage interactions
between models and slices.

TensorFlow

15. Why TensorFlow
• TensorFlow is an end-to-end open source
platform for machine learning
• It has a comprehensive, flexible ecosystem of
tools, libraries and community resources that
lets researchers push the state-of-the-art in
ML and developers easily build and deploy ML
powered applications

GPU and Distributed
Computing

20. Istilah
• GPU computing is the use of a GPU (graphics
processing unit) as a co-processor to accele-rate
CPUs for general-purpose scientific and engineering
computing (boston.co.uk, 2020)
• Distributed computing also refers to the use of
distributed systems to solve computational pro-
blems, which is divided into many tasks, each of
which is solved by one or more computers, which
communicate with each other via message passing

22. Reconstructing Fusion Plasmas
• Ian Langmore reconstructs plasma tempera-
ture, density, and B-field from measurements
in partnership with TAE Technologies (a priva-
te fussion energy company)
• This is a Bayesian inverse problem (not DL)
• TensorFlow libraries:

26. An inverse problem guided experiment
• Fussion reactor does experiment every 20 '
• The system pushes the data
• TensorFlow pulls the data to the code and do
the calculation
• Visualization is constructed and given back to
the reactor operators as guidance for the next
experiment
