SUMMARY:Greg Hersak - Additive Manufacturing in the Nuclear Industry
DESCRIPTION:The CNSC Speaker Series in collaboration with the Ottawa branch of the Canadian Nuclear Society (CNS) are pleased to welcome Mr. Greg Hersak on Friday\, May 4th\, 2018. Mr. Hersak will be speaking at CNSC headquarters at 280 Slater Street\, from 1:00p.m. to 2:30 p.m. in room 14-032. \nMr. Hersak will be delivering a presentation on “Additive Manufacturing in the Nuclear Industry.” Additive manufacturing (more commonly referred to as 3D printing) is rapidly changing the landscape in the manufacturing industry and paving the way for new and innovative design. Components can be printed from an ever-growing array of materials and these printed components are becoming more prominent in end-use applications as the enabling technology is improving. There are several technologies employed and each has advantages and disadvantages. Mr. Hersak from the Canadian Nuclear Laboratories will provide an overview of the additive manufacturing technologies that are employed\, as well as the challenges that are encountered when printing and qualifying components. He will also discuss how printed components are currently being employed in the nuclear industry and how this might change the baseline paradigm for the industry in the years to come. \n  \nGreg Hersak is the Manager of the Mechanical Equipment Development Branch at the Canadian Nuclear Laboratories in Chalk River.  Greg has 16 years of experience in the nuclear industry designing and developing technologies for nuclear applications.  He helped with the development of enabling technologies for large-scale CANDU refurbishment including the automated volume reduction press and was a key part of the team that developed the MODAR technology for detecting and repositioning tight-fitting annulus spacers in CANDU fuel channels.  More recently\, along with a variety of other exciting work\, Greg and his Mechanical Equipment Development Branch and other branches in Research and Development at the Canadian Nuclear Laboratories have been developing expertise and innovation in the area of additive manufacturing. \nCoffee will be provided by the CNSC\, and cookies and muffins will be provided by the CNS. Please feel free to join us for treats and an intriguing presentation. For further information or to RSVP\, please contact Haajarah Ahmed (haajarah.ahmed@canada.ca).

This is the only technical nuclear conference to be held in the Greater Toronto Area in 2017\, and it will bring together subject-matter experts from operating utilities and service providers for intensive discussion on various topics of importance to the nuclear industry.  \nCMNCC-2017 is a ‘flagship’ conference with the involvement of the CNS Utility Engagement Team as an integral part of the Organizing Committee. The conference will focus on the future; while making use of our past and present experience to meet the Needs and Interests of the Operating Utilities (NIOU). \nThe concept of NIOU was introduced at CMC 2011\, where utilities identified issues of importance to them and service providers undertook to find solutions. That approach continues with this year’s conference to provide the ideal environment for open and free exchange of ideas\, and to incubate solutions to address tomorrow’s challenges and opportunities. \nKeeping up with tradition\, the conference will include the very popular CANDU® Configuration Course\, an excellent technical program with parallel sessions each day\, the Trade Show involving leading service providers\, strong student engagement\, and a variety of networking opportunities. \nWe are encouraged by the planned range of technical and plenary topics as laid out in this brochure. Now it’s your turn to help to make the conference a great success – become involved by encouraging registration in good numbers\, by sponsoring the conference in an area of your choice\, and by exhibiting and demonstrating your company’s strengths in support of the industry. \nII look forward to welcoming you to the conference at the Toronto Marriott Downtown Eaton Centre Hotel 525 Bay Street\, Toronto\, October 1-4\, 2017 with the objective of “Delivering Clean Energy through CANDU® Maintenance and Life Extension”. \nSincerely\,Aman UsmaniConference General Chair

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.

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).
