Cutting Nuclear Power Plant Costs: Argonne Develops Framework for Smarter Maintenance
Merge a multiphysics simulation with real nuclear reactor inspection data and the result is a revolutionizing tool that predicts component failure before itΒ happens.
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energyβs (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory have developed an innovative framework to improve maintenance schedules for critical components inΒ nuclearΒ power plants. This breakthrough could save millions of dollars on operating costs while keeping powerΒ reliable.
