NEA panel on AI hosted at World Governments Summit
A panel on the potential of artificial intelligence to accelerate small modular reactors was held at the World Governments Summit (WGS) in February in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The OECD Nuclear Energy Agency cohosted the event, which attracted leaders from developers, IT companies, regulators, and other experts.

A method of forming one-dimensional networks that are equivalent to two-dimensional wave propagations with fluid-structure interactions was developed. The method was verified by analysis of the simple shaker for a computational experiment by the use of the MULTIPLEX code for one-dimensional hydraulics with fluid-structure interactions. By applying the method of network formation, the Fritz-Kiss experiment was subsequently analyzed. In the latter case, the computed in-water frequency was 17.39 Hz, in good agreement with the measured value, 17.0 Hz. Thus, the MULTIPLEX code was verified for analyses of two-dimensional systems with application of the network model.
