SUMMARY:Erwin Alhassan - Total Monte Carlo and Bayesian Updating in Nuclear Data Uncertainty Propagation
DESCRIPTION:Speaker:                Dr. Erwin Alhassan\, Postdoctoral Fellow\, McMaster University \nDate/Time:            March. 28st\, 1:00 pm – 2:20 pm. \nLocation:                ETB-533 (Engineering Technology Building)\, McMaster University. \nSummary \nNuclear reactors are complex multi-physics systems which require the coupling of several fields of Physics in order to describe and analyze them. In order to save time and cost\, simulations using computer codes such as MCNP6 or SERPENT are used to study safety scenarios of these systems at both steady state and transient conditions. These simulation codes use nuclear data which contain associated uncertainties as input and therefore the output of these codes are affected by the uncertainties in nuclear data used. Knowledge and the ability to quantify these uncertainties are important for setting safety margins as well as for providing confidence in the interpretation of results. Also\, in recent times\, nuclear regulatory authorities are moving away from conservative evaluations to best estimate calculations which are accompanied by uncertainty evaluations. \nIn the past because of computational resource constraint\, the propagation of uncertainties straight from nuclear model parameters to applications was difficult. However\, this is now possible due to the increase in computational power as well as improvements in nuclear reaction models. In this presentation\, the Total Monte Carlo approach and Bayesian updating for data adjustments and for nuclear data uncertainty reduction would be presented. Parameters in basic nuclear physics are sampled from uniform distributions in order to obtain non-informative priors as much as possible. These parameters are then randomly varied all together and a large set of random nuclear data libraries are produced. Next\, a probabilistic data assimilation is carried out by computing the maximum likelihood using differential experimental data. The ‘best file’ – the file with the largest likelihood function is used (in some cases) as the prior for resampling of basic nuclear parameters. Once satisfied\, the new ‘best file’ is used for creating a large set of random nuclear data libraries for the propagation step. Further\, by using the random nuclear data produced in the previous step as prior\, integral experimental data are used as an additional constraint in order to obtain a posteriori uncertainty on reactor integral quantities. \nBiography Erwin Alhassan obtained his BSc (Applied Physics with Environmental Science) and MPhil (Nuclear Engineering) from the University for Development Studies and the University of Ghana\, both in Ghana respectively. During his time in Ghana\, he has been involved in steady state\, burnup\, stability and transient analysis as well as Neutron Activation Analysis for the Ghana Research Reactor-1. He went on to obtain a Licentiate of Philosophy and a PhD (Physics with specialization in Applied Nuclear Physics) from Uppsala University in Sweden where he worked on nuclear data uncertainty quantification and data assimilation for GEN-IV reactors. He was a co-Manager and technical reviewer for the technical track 3.2 (Reactor Physics and Neutronics) for the International Youth in Nuclear Congress 2014\, Burgos\, Spain. He is currently a postdoctoral fellow at the Engineering Physics Department\, McMaster University\, Canada. He has authored/co-authored over 20 peer-reviewed journal articles and has presented papers at several international conferences and meetings.  \nCoffee and Tea will be provided at the seminar\, courtesy of the CNS. Please contact sharpejr@mcmaster.ca if you have any questions.

SUMMARY:Mark Jensen - Adaptive Phased Management: Canada’s Plan for Long-term Management of Nuclear Used Fuel The Role of Geosciences
DESCRIPTION:Adaptive Phased Management: Canada’s Plan for Long-term Management of Nuclear Used Fuel The Role of Geosciences \nSpeaker:     Mark Jensen\, Director of Deep Geologic Repository Geoscience and Research at                           NWMO\, P.Geo.Date/Time:  March. 1st\, 1:30 pm – 2:20 pm.Location:     ETB-533 (Engineering Technology Building)\, McMaster University. \nSummary \nThe Nuclear Waste Management Organization (NWMO) is responsible in Canada for the long-term safe management of Canada’s used nuclear fuel. The Federally approved plan for long-term used fuel Management being implemented by the NWMO is referred to as Adaptive Phased Management (APM). The APM approach ultimately envisions Canada’s used nuclear fuel being emplaced within a multi-barrier Deep Geologic Repository (DGR) designed to provide passive safety at time frames relevant to repository safety (i.e.\, 1Ma) in a suitable sedimentary or crystalline setting. As part of APM\, the NWMO foster advances in Geoscience related to the characterization and assessment of varied geologic settings to safely host a DGR at a nominal depth below ground surface of 500 m. The Geosciences program is multi-disciplinary with a focus on methods necessary to gather evidence regarding the past\, present and future evolution of the geosphere as it influences understanding of geologic formation barrier properties\, longevity and integrity. In this role Geoscience provides a basis to develop a Descriptive Geosphere Model that supports a science based understanding DGR containment and Isolation\, and confidence in a site-specific DGR Safety Case. \nThe APM Geosciences work program is intent on preserving knowledge and refining methods to explore deep-seated very low permeability crystalline and sedimentary groundwater systems. The activities fall into four categories: i) development of laboratory and surface based in-situ borehole techniques to characterize sub-surface conditions governing\, in part\, site suitability; ii) illustrative numerical experiments and site-specific assessments at repository\, local and regional geosphere scales to capture the time rate of change and magnitude of geosphere response to events including\, including natural and repository induced perturbations; iii) the assessment of uncertainty influencing repository safety including seismic hazard\, geomechanical stability\, Excavation Damage Zone (EDZ)\, couple Thermal-Hydraulic-Mechanical phenomena processes formation and long-term climate change resulting on glacial and permafrost advance and retreat over the North American continent; and iv) collaborative applied research and development within crystalline and sedimentary Underground Research Laboratories on phenomena directly linked to testing confidence in a case for DGR safety. \nThis presentation provides a description of the APM Geosciences technical program with a focus on key activities motivated by continually improvement of the scientific basis to reliably test the behaviour of the geosphere as a natural barrier to passively contain and isolate used nuclear fuel at time periods relevant to repository safety. \nBiography  \nMark Jensen (HBSc. (Co-op) – Waterloo (1986); MSc. – Toronto (1993); P. Geo) is Director of Deep Geologic Repository Geoscience and Research at the Nuclear Waste Management Organization (Toronto\, Ontario). He has been involved in environmental Geosciences since joining Ontario Hydro in 1986. His background is in physical and chemical hydrogeology\, in particular\, as relevant to interim and long-term radioactive waste management. Responsibilities have included the direction of Canadian and international multi-disciplinary Geosciences research and development (25-30 work programs; 15 Universities) associated with radioactive waste management (Ontario Hydro (1998)/Ontario Power Generation (1999-2006)/NWMO (Present)). Mark directed Geoscience studies (2002-present) related to the Environmental Assessment and regulatory licensing of the proposed Ontario Power Generation Bruce nuclear site Deep Geologic Repository for low and intermediate level radioactive waste. He is engaged in international Geosciences research for long-term radioactive waste management purposes through OECD/NEA Working Groups including SEDE (1996-1999)\, AMIGO (2002-2008; Steering Committee) and the Characterization\, the Understanding and the Performance of Argillaceous Rocks as Repository Host Formations (‘Clay Club’) to which he was voted Chair in 2012 (12 Countries). He has authored or co-authored more than 76 reports\, journal manuscripts and conference papers. \nCoffee and Tea will be provided at the seminar\, courtesy of the CNS.

SUMMARY:Howard Shearer - Consequences
DESCRIPTION:Consequences \nSpeaker:                Howard Shearer\, B.Eng. (Electrical) Chief Executive Canada\, Hitachi Canada \nDate/Time:            Jan. 19th\, 12:30 – 1:20 pm. \nLocation:                BSB-136 (Burke Science Building)\, McMaster University. \nCo-hosted with the Engineering Physics Department at McMaster University. Sandwiches\, wraps\, coffee\, and tea will be provided on behalf of the Canadian Nuclear Society’s Golden Horseshoe Branch. \nSummary \nThe Consequences of Decisions One makes in life’s journey have far reaching impacts on Society’s development\, Quality of Life\, as well as a nation’s Capacity to Build Wealth. Are there significant consequences to be borne from choosing a particular discipline? The appearance of multiple disruptive technology solutions is not only a result of frontier Research and Development in one discipline\, but rather the integration of ideas\, achieving multidisciplinary synergies across multiple verticals and in some instances multiple modalities. Silos are an inhospitable environment for success; no longer can one ignore that success can be realized only when the social as well as the technology ecosystem converge from a state of co-existence in a universal tug of war. In the Knowledge economy engineering studies are major catalysts in enabling students to frame the future. One should not impose limits on ambitions\, but instead embrace the foundation engineering studies provide to explore and create disruptive solutions regardless of areas of study. \nBiography \nHoward Lincoln Shearer is the Chief Executive Canada\, Hitachi Canada\, and previously served in the position of Chairman of Hitachi Power Systems Canada Ltd. (April\, 2012 – December 21st\, 2013).  After joining Hitachi Canada Ltd. in 1984\, he rose through the ranks to the position of President and Chief Executive Officer of Hitachi Canada Ltd. (2001-2012) and also served as a member of the board of directors of Hitachi Canada Ltd.\, a position to which he was appointed in 1999. Prior to this\, he served as Vice-President & General Manager of HCL’s Semiconductor division. He is a change agent while being adept at strategy development\, mobilizing\, motivating\, and inspiring multi-discipline\, internal and external executive level teams to major success. Howard is a consensus builder\, with a strong focus on team building. \nHis career spans 39 years in both the High Tech as well as Energy and Industrial sectors resulting in the accumulation of knowledge and experience in the areas of Semiconductors\, Optical transmission\, Power Generation (Coal\, Gas\, Nuclear\, Renewables and Project Execution)\, Transmission & Distribution\, Consumer (wholesale\, retail)\, Rail Transportation\, Medical Healthcare\, IoT (Big Data Analytics) as it relates to Physical Security\, Cyber Security\, Maintenance (Predictive\, Prescriptive\, Preventive)\, Military and other industrial sectors. He has served on Private and Public Sector boards with an understanding of Regulatory\, Compliance and Governance requirements in multiple verticals. \nSandwiches and wraps will be provided along with coffee\, tea\, and water. Vegetarian options will be available (no request necessary). \nPlease contact sharpejr@mcmaster.ca if you have any questions.
