# Risk and Contingencies Assumptions Exercise
|
|
|
|
**The outcome I want to achieve is?**
|
|
- Turn written reqs into discrete controller
|
|
- Build continuous modes that ensure hybrid stability
|
|
- Implement on industrial controller with HIL simulation
|
|
|
|
**What can't anyone solve this today?**
|
|
- Nobody has tried to build system like this with stability
|
|
in mind from the ground up. NUCE is a specific domain this
|
|
is useful. Reliance on human operators for safety.
|
|
|
|
**The research approach I am using is?**
|
|
- Formal Methods + Control Theory
|
|
- FRET - Reachability
|
|
- Reactive Synthesis
|
|
|
|
**This research approach relies on these fundamental
|
|
principles?**
|
|
- Temporal logic precision
|
|
- automata
|
|
- differential and difference equations
|
|
- procedure writing
|
|
|
|
**The experiment that I will perform is?**
|
|
- trying to make an autonomous start up procedure for a
|
|
SmAHTR reactor
|
|
|
|
**The equipment I will use is?**
|
|
1. FRET
|
|
2. STRIX
|
|
3. Simulink
|
|
4. Reachability tools
|
|
5. Ovation
|
|
|
|
**I will analyze the results using?**
|
|
1. Prose. How hard was this to do, what MacGuyvering needed
|
|
done? What TRL?
|
|
|
|
**The expected outcome of this experiment is?**
|
|
1. A working autonomous start up controller can take a
|
|
simulation from cold to critical without needing a human
|
|
operator to intervene.
|
|
|
|
**What happens if this experiment does not work?**
|
|
1. We'll shift to a smaller, simpler problem where we can
|
|
overcome the limits.
|
|
|
|
**What happens if the hypothesis or prediction is false?**
|
|
1. We'll show the gap between current procedure writing and
|
|
where we need to be to actually do synthesis.
|
|
|
|
**What assumptions do I have that, if proven wrong, would
|
|
derail this project?**
|
|
1. Temporal logic from FRET is easy to synthesize with STRIX
|
|
2. I'm not going to have state-space explosion happen
|
|
3. Writing a start-up procedure for SmAHTR isn't that hard
|
|
4. People give a crap about molten salt reactors
|
|
5. This whole discrete boundary thing is not going to be
|
|
really hard to implement. The idea is conditions for the
|
|
transitions between modes to be boolean variables for
|
|
the temporal lgoic, but that they correspond to some surface
|
|
in the continuous state space. How am I going to keep track
|
|
of that?
|
|
6. Computational cost. Center for Research Computing is the
|
|
answer.
