ASSAS (Artificial intelligence for Simulation of Severe AccidentS) is a Horizon Europe funded project focusing on nuclear severe accident simulators.
The main output of the project is to develop a prototype severe accident simulator based on IRSN’s calculation code ASTEC (Accident Source Term Evaluation Code) and Tecnatom’s simulation suite TEAM_SUITE®. It will feature a basic-principle generic pressurized light water reactor (PWR), to be used for phenomenological training. More importantly, it will be a proof-of-concept for the development of more realistic industrial simulators after the end of the project.
One of the challenges of the project is to run the simulator in real time, or even faster, with the lowest possible impact on accuracy. To achieve this goal, different solutions will be explored:
- Efficient programming techniques,
- The simplification of reactor models,
- The development of surrogate models based on machine-learning.
Efforts will concentrate on the last option, which is the most innovative and promising. Various approaches will be tested on ASTEC and the American code Melcor, with different levels of hybridation between AI models and the original code. If successful, the developed methodology may be adapted in the future to other applications in severe accident research and beyond.
