Radiation effects on materials are inherently multiscale phenomena in view of the fact that various processes spanning a broad range of time and length scales are involved. A multiscale modeling approach to embrittlement of pressure vessel steels is presented here. The approach includes an investigation of the mechanisms of defect accumulation, microstructure evolution and the corresponding effects on mechanical properties. An understanding of these phenomena is required to predict the behavior of structural materials under irradiation. We used molecular dynamics (MD) simulations at an atomic scale to study the evolution of high-energy displacement cascade reactions. The MD simulations yield quantitative information on primary damage. Using a database of displacement cascades generated by the MD simulations, we can estimate the accumulation of defects over diffusional length and time scales by applying kinetic Monte Carlo simulations. The evolution of the local microstructure under irradiation is responsible for changes in the physical and mechanical properties of materials. Mechanical property changes in irradiated materials are modeled by dislocation dynamics simulations, which simulate a collective motion of dislocations that interact with the defects. In this paper, we present a multi scale modeling methodology that describes reactor pressure vessel embrittlement in a light water reactor environment.

Simulations of Wolsong-1 Phase-B commissioning measurements have been performed, as part of the program to validate WIMS-AECL lattice cell calculations for application to CANDU reactor simulations in RFSP. A required component of these simulations is the calculation of incremental cross sections representing reactivity control devices in the reactor. The incremental cross section properties of the Wolsong-1 adjusters, Mechanical Control Absorbers (MCA) and liquid Zone Control Units (ZCU) are based on the WIMS-AECL/MULTICELL modelling methods and the results are compared with those of WIMS-AECL/DRAGON-2 modelling methods.

To develop operation scenarios of KT-2 tokamak, 3 operation modes(OH, high ${\beta}$ and high bootstrap) deduced from zero dimensional steady-state power balance are examined with TSC(Tokamak Simulation Code) time-dependent transport .ode. Plasma profiles are evaluated self consistently during simulations and plasma shapes are maintained by feedback control on PF coil currents. Simulations show operation modes which are typical of KT-2 expected discharges are compatible with the KT-2 PF system design specifications[1].

We propose a heat jet approach for a two-dimensional square lattice with nearest neighbouring harmonic interaction. First, we design a two-way matching boundary condition that linearly relates the displacement and velocity at atoms near the boundary, and a suitable input in terms of given incoming wave modes. Then a phonon representation for finite temperature lattice motion is adopted. The proposed approach is simple and compact. Numerical tests validate the effectiveness of the boundary condition in reflection suppression for outgoing waves. It maintains target temperature for the lattice, with expected kinetic energy distribution and heat flux. Moreover, its linear nature facilitates reliable finite temperature atomic simulations with a correct description for non-thermal motions.

Computer simulations have played a central role in the development of out understanding of the atomic scale processes involved in crystal growth. The assumptions underlying computer modeling will be discussed and out recent work on modeling of the kinetic formation of thermodynamically unstable phases in alloys or mixtures will be reviewed. Our Monte Carlo computer simulations have reproduced the experimental results on the rapid recrystallization of laser-melted doped silicon. An analytical model for this phenomenon has been developed, and its applicability to other materials will be discussed.

In order that a mobile robot executes the real tasks such as inspection and maintenance in nuclear facility efficiently, the coordination between the mobile platform and the manipulator is essentially required In this paper, a new motion control method for a mobile robot to execute the tasks in nuclear facility efficiently is proposed. A series of simulations are performed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

This paper shows the results of atomistic modeling for the Interaction between spherical nano abrasive and substrate In chemical mechanical polishing processes. Atomistic modeling was achieved from 2-dimensional molecular dynamics simulations using the Lennard-jones 12-6 potentials. We proposed and investigated three mechanical models: (1) Constant Force Model; (2) Constant Depth Model, (3) Variable Force Model, and three chemical models, such as (1) Chemically Reactive Surface Model, (2) Chemically Passivating Surface Model, and (3) Chemically Passivating-reactive Surface Model. From the results obtained from classical molecular dynamics simulations for these models, we concluded that atomistic chemical mechanical polishing model based on both Variable Force Model and Chemically Passivating-reactive Surface Model were the most suitable for realistic simulation of chemical mechanical polishing in the atomic scale. The proposed model can be extended to investigate the 3-dimensional chemical mechanical polishing processes in the atomic scale.
