Program on Technology Innovation:
Benchmarking of Ultrasonic Simulation
Software
. Product ID: 3002004439.
Published March, 2015.
This report presents a benchmarking
assessment of the performance of
different
commercially
available
simulation software packages that can
potentially be used for design and analysis
of ultrasonic nondestructive evaluation
techniques applied to components in the
nuclear power industry. In particular, this
document investigates the performance
of the CIVA, Wave2000 Plus, and
Wave3000 Plus software packages in a
variety of scenarios.

Service Water Intake Blockages: Event
Forecasting for Minimizing Impacts
.
Product ID: 3002005150. PublishedApril,
2015.
This report reviews the state of the
science in open loop cooling water event
forecasting. It describes the tools and
data resources available to operators of
open loop cooling water systems for
forecasting intake blockages. It also
presents a number of case studies of
power plant event forecasting programs
and technologies. Since the environment
is constantly changing, ensuring that
intakes are prepared for managing
influxes of debris can be a moving
target; this report is intended to be used
as a resource with which to assess viable
event forecasting approaches at various
open cooling water intakes.
