Abstract
In the US and globally Advanced Reactors are being developed. These Nuclear Power Plants (NPP) will utilize modern engineering and simulation tools, as well as modern control systems. New plants are safer and more flexible than previous generations. New opportunities exist for how plants could manage and operate reactors. Specifically, future plants could utilize fleet management and reduced staffing to decrease operational expenses. Tools are needed to support the development of computer-based procedure systems for advanced reactors. Here we find inspiration from scientific open source software tools (Python, Jupyter Notebook, Jupytext, Jupyter Book, Rmarkdown, Rstudio, MarkDown, MyST, Sphinx, Git) for rapid prototyping and evaluation of computer based procedure systems to support the design and evaluation of novel concept of operations for new reactors, conducting engineering tests, validating and optimizing operations using machine learning.
