Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In recent years, several studies of the Canadian SCWR led to design and modeling revisions, at both bundle and core scale, to cope with safety criteria. Here, these modifications are evaluated using coupled calculations between DONJON5 (core neutronics) and CATHENA (thermalhydraulics) for a steady-state core under normal operation conditions based on lattice calculations provided by DRAGON5. This article describes the coupling procedure, programmed in Python 3, that deals with input files modification, data management for both DONJON5 and CATHENA execution. Then the Canadian SCWR concept is assessed to highlight the limitations that should be addressed to complete the current design definition stage.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
