    Knowledge base about risk and safety of nuclear facilities to support analysts and decision-makers
    2021 - VIEIRA NETO, ANTONIO S.; OLIVA, AMAURY M.; OLIVEIRA, PATRICIA da S.P. de; HUNOLD, MARCOS C.; SAUER, MARIA E.L.J.; ANDREA, VINICIUS
    Epistemic uncertainty (related to lack of knowledge), often found in the documentation of nuclear facility engineering projects, can affect the decision-making process of managers and analysts on safety and risk issues. This article conceptualizes the nature of the major uncertainties involved in engineering projects. It describes a knowledge base developed to gather data and information related to an Open-Pool Light-water Research Reactor (OPLRR) project and whose purpose is to assist professionals who work in nuclear facilities. To reduce the epistemic uncertainties that may arise in the project, the OPLRR knowledge base is designed with a set of information that allows identifying and facilitating the forwarding of solutions to address inconsistencies and/or pending issues that may exist in the project. In this sense, the information and the documents related to the project are organized in a graphical and hierarchical architecture, allowing the knowledge base users to quickly and easily obtain information regarding the systems, processes, equipment, and components of the project. Besides that, a set of documents containing descriptions, reliability data, and some other information about the systems and components are specially created to the knowledge base, and it is crucial to reduce epistemic uncertainties once it raises the issues and the inconsistencies of the project, as well as it clarifies the interrelations between the systems, the functioning of the equipment, their failures modes and the consequences of their failures, and some other data, which are not originally contained in the documents of the project.

    The spectral deterministic method applied to nêutron fixed-source discrete ordinates problems in X, Y-geometry for multigroup calculations
    2019 - OLIVA, AMAURY M.; ALVES FILHO, HERMES; BARROS, RICARDO C.; CURBELO, JESUS P.
    A new approach for the development of a coarse-mesh numerical spectral nodal method is presented in this paper. This method, referred to as the Spectral Deterministic Method { Constant Nodal (SDM{CN), is based on a spectral analysis of the multigroup X,Y-Geometry, linearly anisotropic scattering neutron transport equations in discrete ordinates ( SN)formulation for xed-source calculations in non-multiplying media. In this paper we present typical model problems to illustrate the accuracy and the e ciency for coarse-mesh energy multigroup SN calculations of the SDM-CN method. The numerical results obtained are compared with the traditional ne-mesh Diamond Di erence (DD) method and the results obtained by DOT{II and TWOTRAN codes. The numerical results are also compared with the spectral nodal method, spectral Green's function (SGF).

This article conceptualizes the nature of the major uncertainties involved in engineering projects and describes a knowledge base developed in order to gather data and information related to the project of an Open-Pool Light-water Research Rector (OPLRR) and whose purpose is to assist professionals who work in the áreas of safety, design, operation, and maintenance of nuclear facilities. In order to reduce the epistemic uncertainties that may rise in the project, the OPLRR knowledge base is designed to contain a set of information that allows identifying and facilitating the forwarding of solutions to address inconsistencies, and/or pending issues that may exist in the project.
