Small and Modular Reactors..A Paradigm Shift in Nuclear Power RisksHIMADRI BANERJI
In the past, the trend in nuclear power reactor technology development showed an emphasis towards large reactors due to the economies of scale, which produced reactor designs on to 1600 MWe. A development of SMRs points into the opposite
direction, i.e. towards smaller outputs with an equivalent electrical power of less than 700MWe.

INTERNATIONAL EXPERT GAS TURBINES
The aims of the O&M of Gas Turbines Workshop is to share the experiences of our internationally renowned expert with an aim to prevent such incidents and also to examine the factors and opportunities to increase plant safety, environmental performance. And improve uptime and availability all factors contributing to higher profitability.
The workshop will also examine scheduled maintenance and turnarounds which are opportunities to increase plant safety and environmental performance. By enhancing the mechanical integrity of HPI facilities, operating companies can achieve and maintain higher uptime and equipment availability; all are factors that contribute to higher profitability. Best-of-class companies hold the mindset that reliability programs provide great benefits. Investing in new monitoring and conditioning systems, along with preventive maintenance and inspection programs, can optimize unit and total facility performance.
The development of dry low NOx (DLN) combustors for gas turbines has cut the industry's consumption of water, while dramatically slashing air emissions. Unfortunately, this environmental enhancement has created an engineering challenge: The lean-burning DLN combustors are prone to flame instability, which can cause pressure pulsations large enough to destroy the combustor, launching debris downstream where it annihilates other hot-gas-path components. To detect and correct flame instability before it causes millions of dollars of turbine damage, savvy users have begun to install advanced sensors and robust software that monitor the combustor dynamics in real time.
High dynamics can limit hardware life and/or system operability. Thus, there have been various attempts to control combustion dynamics, to prevent degradation of system performance. There are two basic methods for controlling combustion dynamics in an industrial gas turbine combustion system: passive control and active control. As the name suggests, passive control refers to a system that incorporates certain design features and characteristics to reduce dynamic pressure oscillations. Active control, on the other hand, incorporates a sensor to detect, e.g., pressure fluctuations and to provide a feedback signal.
Which, When suitably processed by a controller, provides an input signal to a control device. The control device in turn operates to reduce the dynamic pressure oscillations. The workshop will examine the factors and the issues associated with combustor dynamics, and technologies like AMFM/CFM.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

6. Uncertainty in Lifecycle Nuclear Project Costs
Spent Fuel and Decommissioning
To enable an expansion of nuclear power, it must overcome critical
challenges in cost, waste disposal, and proliferation concerns while
maintaining its currently excellent safety and reliability record.
In the relatively near term, important decisions may be taken with far
reaching long-term implications about the evolution of the nuclear fuel
cycle—what type of fuel is used, what types of reactors, what happens to
irradiated fuel, and what method of disposal for long term nuclear wastes.
Immediate concerns are nevertheless the inherent uncertainty in fixing the
cost of the project for Spent Nuclear Fuel Management and fixing the
Decommissioning Budget and thus closures of financing of nuclear projects
pose great risks to investors.

7. Impact of construction delay on levelised cost (6.7% WACC)
Source: own calculations based on IEA(2006)
Compared to other power generation technologies, new nuclear build is
characterised by long lead times (3 years for project preparation, 5 to 6 years for
construction), and high front end cash outflows ( € 3 to € 4 bn for a first-of-a-kind
plant of 1500MW, €2 bn for a standard plant, to compare to an investment cost of
€200 millions for a large CCGT of 600 MW).
It is also likely to have high cost estimation and schedule risk around the forecast
baseline lead time, based on past experience construction cost and time overruns.
Besides, the scale of the proposed investment in a nuclear plant represents a project
of considerable scale on both a stand-alone basis as well as in comparison with
construction costs of an average power plant.

11. Risk Management Framework
This integrated risk management (RM) approach generates benefits that
include the following:
•Clearer criteria for decision making.
• Making effective use of investments already made in probabilistic safety
analysis (PSA) programs by applying these analyses to other areas and
contexts.
• Cost consciousness and innovation in achieving nuclear safety and
production goals.
• Communication improvement — more effective internal communication
among all levels of the NPP operating organization, and clearer communication
between the organization and its stakeholders.
• Focus on safety — ensuring an integrated focus on safety, production, and
economics during times of change in the energy environment

16. There are eight primary sources of nuclear costs which
pose major project risks:
The cost of the land upon which the nuclear power plant (NPP) is built.
Costs related to designing the NPP
Cost related to the materials from which the NPP is built.
Labour costs related to manufacture and construction.
The cost of obtaining regulatory approval AND PERMITS LIKE WATER ETC
Investment related costs (interest, etc.)
Transportation and Access related costs
The cost of the electrical transmission system that connects the NPP to the
grid

17. The cost of the land upon which the
nuclear power plant (NPP) is built
Land related costs can be lowered if the investor already owns the land. In the
case of NPPs, land costs can be lowered if the NPP is built on a pre-existing NPP
site.
Other, for example transportation related investments may not be required, and
access to water is very likely to be available.
NPPs can also be located on the site of obsolete coal fired power plants slated
to be shut down for technological or environmental reasons.
The same advantages of the NPP location would apply to the coal powered site,
and additional facilities – for example the turbine hall, parking lots,
administrative buildings, workshops, transformer farms, etc. - can potentially be
recycled.
The layout and size of an existing coal fired power plant may not be
appropriate for adaptation for a large nuclear plant, but a cluster of small
reactor approach would allow for far greater flexibility in facility layout,
and would be far more easy to accommodate. 2nd

18. Costs related to designing the NPP
Small reactors, especially advanced technology small reactors, offer
advancements in siting flexibility.
For example, clusters of small reactors can be located in former salt mines.
Serial production lowers design costs.
Design costs are largely fixed.
Design costs can be divided among all of the units produced.
If one reactor of a particular design is produced, then the recovery of the
cost of that design would be through sale of that unit.
If hundreds of units are produced, the recovery of the design cost can be
divided between all of the units.

20. Costs related to designing the NPP
Finally, design simplification can lower nuclear costs.
The Generation IV Molten Salt Reactor design offers revolutionary design
simplification. In the Molten Salt Reactor the fuel is dissolved in the
coolant.
Thus much of the core structure is eliminated. Because the Molten Salt
Reactor features a negative coefficient of reactivity, the reactor is highly
stable without operator control input.
Control rods can be partially or completely eliminated.
These simple features lower manufacturing costs. And lessen
manufacturing time.

Annual Nuclear Power June 21st to
24th 2011 Singapore 20
21. Cost related to the materials from which the NPP is built
The material input into a NPP per watt of output typically decreases as
total reactor output rises.
Traditionally this has lead to the economies of scales argument, which
maintains that the larger the reactor output, the lower the per watt cost.
There are, however, problems with this assessment.
While it is true that larger size usually means lower material costs per unit
of electrical output, there are exceptions to this rule, especially with
respect to advanced nuclear technology.
Presented by Dr. Himadri Banerji 2nd
Annual Nuclear Power June 21st to
24th 2011 Singapore 21
22. Cost related to the materials from which the NPP is built
For example:
The greater thermal efficiency of a reactor of similar core size might lower output
cost per unit of heat, compared to that of a similar sized, but less efficient design.
Reactor safety issues may effect materials input.
Light Water Reactor cores and heat exchanges operate under very high pressure.
They require significant amounts of material to prevent steam explosions.
LWR outer containment structures are typically massive, and thus require large

24th 2011 Singapore 22
23. Cost related to the materials from which the NPP is built
A more compact reactor core may lower material requirements.
Thus if two reactors have the same output, the one with the smaller core
is likely to require fewer materials.
Underground reactor siting could potentially lower reactor structural
costs, by offering protection against terrorist attacks from aircraft and at
surface levels with lower materials inputs.

24. Cost related to the materials from which the NPP is built
Small generation components can lower material requirements.
Thus supercritical carbon dioxide turbines are much smaller than steam
turbines used in conventional reactors.
Small turbines require fewer materials, and can be housed in smaller
turbine halls, which in turn require less material and labour input to
build.
Thus a small advanced technology reactor with a compact core and
high thermal efficiency, that operates at a one atmosphere pressure
level, and can be sited underground might require fewer materials
inputs per unit of electrical output than a much larger conventional
reactor

25. Reactor Design Lowers Manufacturing Costs
In addition manufacturing costs can be lowered by simplifying reactor
design. Passive safety features can in some instances lower nuclear
costs.
For example thermo-siphoning of reactor coolant, may save the cost of
manufacturing and installing coolant pumps.
Gravity feed emergency coolant systems save on manufacturing costs
in several ways,
They do not require backup generators or pumps, thus many of the
expenses of older emergency coolant systems can be saved.

26. mPower Reactors from B&W
The B&W mPower reactor, with its scalable, modular design, has the
capacity to provide 125 MWe to 750 MWe or more for a 4.5-year operating
cycle without refuelling, and is designed to produce clean, zero-emission
operations.
Babcock & Wilcox Nuclear Energy, Inc. will lead the development, licensing
and delivery of B&W mPower reactor projects.
Features of the B&W mPower reactor include:
Integral nuclear system design
Passive safety systems
Underground containment
4.5-year operating cycle between refueling
Scalable, modular design is flexible for local needs
Multi-unit (1 to 10+) plant

27. Labour costs related to manufacture and construction.
Labour costs can be lowered by shifting work from the field to a
factory. The more labor which can be performed in a factory, the lower
the over all costs.
Modular production is consistent with factory manufacture. Factory
manufacture lowers labor costs in several ways.
First serial production leads to the division of labor, which in turn
typically increases labor productivity.
The division of labor decreases the skill set required from individual
workers.
Decreased labor skill sets decrease labor wage expectations.
Factory work settings, as opposed to field work settings also decrease
wage expectations.

Annual Nuclear Power June 21st to

28. The cost of obtaining regulatory approval and permits like for
water
The current nuclear regulatory environment favour serial
manufacture.
Once an example of a particular nuclear design is approved by the
NRC is approved, the approval of all subsequent reactors using the
design is automatic.
Environmental aspects of subsequent application, however, receive
the same attention, since they vary from facility to facility.
Presented by Dr. Himadri Banerji 2nd
Annual Nuclear Power June 21st to
24th 2011 Singapore 28
29. The cost of obtaining regulatory approval and permits like for water
In addition to NRC license requirements, other licenses or permits may be
required.
For example, the use of cooling water from rivers and lakes is not automatic,
and usually requires regulatory approval.
One of the advantages of recycling coal fired power plant sites, is that water
access permits may already exist, and potentially can be transferred.
But what if obtaining a water use permit is not possible?
With small reactor designs air rather water cooling is practical, with
relatively modest efficiency penalties.
With efficient advanced reactors, the efficiency benefits may far outweigh
the efficiency losses related to air cooling.
Presented by Dr. Himadri Banerji 2nd
Annual Nuclear Power June 21st to

30. Investment related costs (interest, etc.)
Interest accrues as nuclear power plant construction, and accrued interest may
amount to a significant percentage of NPP capital costs, especially if the
construction project stretches to half a decade or more.
Small factory built reactors are expected to have shortened construction times,
compared to large conventional reactors.
Simplified advanced reactor designs are also expected to shorten NPP
construction time.
These shortening construction time can decrease the interest component of
capital costs significantly.
Presented by Dr. Himadri Banerji 2nd
Annual Nuclear Power June 21st to
24th 2011 Singapore 30
31. Investment related costs (interest, etc.)
Interest charges may reflect the market's assessment of project risks.
The greater a projects assumed risk, the higher the interest premium the
market will assess.
By decreasing a project's size, and lowering projected
manufacturing/construction time, nuclear project builders can offer the
market lower perceived risks.
Lower perceived risks, will lead to interest discounts compared to higher risk
large nuclear projects.
Presented by Dr. Himadri Banerji 2nd
Annual Nuclear Power June 21st to
24th 2011 Singapore 31
32. Transportation and Access Related Costs
Small, factory manufactured reactors offer advantages in transportation costs.
Conventional reactors include a number of very large and heavy components,
that present transportation challenges.
Components such as pressure vessels and steam generators may require
special and highly unusual transportation arrangements if they are transported
overland.
Special huge road transportation vehicles, some capable of moving no more
than three miles an hour may disrupt highway uses in large areas over several
weeks as they transported conventional reactor steam generators and pressure
vessels to reactor sites.
In contrast, small reactor cores may be moved by trucks or by rail as ordinary
freight.
In areas where water shortages represent acute problems, small reactor access to
reliable water supplies is unnecessary. Air cooling will enable small reactors to
operate with out a reliable water supply. Himadri Banerji 2nd

33. The cost of the electrical transmission system that connects the NPP
to the grid
Small reactor clusters located at recycled coal fire power plant locations
potentially have greatly simplified grid connections.
Not only can they be located near to the cities they are intended to serve, but
grid hook-up is facilitated by existing transformer farms, and grid
connections.
Because they can be located close to served cities new transmission lines will
not cover long distances, thus lowering grid expansion costs.
Large reactors may require new transmission lines that are hundreds of miles
long, in order to move surplus electricity to market.

35. Lost Opportunities for Combining Cycles and Improving Efficiencies
In addition to the above savings, and potential savings mentioned above there
are other potential savings that may be available with small reactors.
For example, with advanced nuclear technology, for example molten salt
reactors, combined Rankine (steam) and Brayton (gas) cycles are possible.
A bottoming desalinization cycle could be offered to the system, thus offering
formidable efficiency from small reactor packages.
A high temperature reactor can provide top cycle heat for industrial processes,
as well as producing middle cycle electricity generation, and bottom cycle heat
for electrical generation.
By adding a second generating cycle, small reactors can lower their electrical
generation costs.
Desalination would add a further revenue stream from the reactors operation
through the sale of portable water.Nuclear Power June 21st2nd

36. Benefits in Risk Management By shifting to Small Reactors
Shifts from conventional nuclear technology, to some advanced nuclear
technologies, also offer significant potential savings.
‘Some advanced technology savings are available to both large and small
nuclear power plants, but the flexibility of small NPPs may mean that at
least in certain situations
Small advanced nuclear power plants may offer very significant potential
savings in comparison to large conventional NPPs.

Three main options are being pursued:
1.Light water reactors,
2.Fast neutron reactors and also

with longer operation before refuelling.
