1. 1 IMPRINT Developer’s Workshop: NRC’s Perspective December 6 -7, 2005 By: Autumn Szabo, CEA Email: AXS7@NRC.GOVAXS7@NRC.GOV Phone: 301-415-6587

2. 2 The NRC Organization Mission  Different from military applications  Similar HF needs / research

3. 3 NRC Activities Study / validation (1990s)  Staffing  Alarm systems  Remote Afterloading Brachytherapy Evaluation  Staffing (Development Complete)  Operator Workload (Current)

4. 4 Why the NRC uses Simulation Simple Comprehensive Easy to Use Faster than real time data collection Enhances understanding of system Supplements empirical research

5. 5 IMPRINT for NRC application IMPRINT developed for:  Early design evaluation  Opportunity to affect design  Single system acquisition  Distributed / environmental extremes NRC needs:  Post-construction evaluation  Opportunity to affect operations  Multiple variations of similar system evaluation  Fixed environment

6. 6 Possible Opportunities Cooperative research  Possible uses for Imprint and other variants Cost sharing  Development of future research regarding Imprint applications Data sharing  Related applications for simulation  Any background information related to staffing or operator workload
