Abstract

Professor Haghighat introduces the audience to the novel Multi-stage, Response-function Transport (MRT) methodology which enables solving complex and large radiation transport problems in realtime! It elaborates on the RAPID (Real-time Analysis for Particle-transport In-situ Detection) code system that is developed based on the MRT methodology. It discusses RAPID’s benchmarking (calculation & experiment) studies for spent fuel pools, spent fuel casks, and reactor cores (power and research). RAPID’s results (pin-wise, axially-dependent fission density, critical/subcritical multiplication, and detector responses) are compared to the reference calculation predictions and experimental data.

Additionally, the talk introduces the VRS-RAPID web application that is a novel multi-user virtual reality system (VRS) for input preparation, real-time simulation, and output processing and visualization in a virtual environment.
