©2020 Nuclear Energy Institute 9 The Big 3 APPLICATIONS FOR BOTH THE CURRENT FLEET AND ADVANCED REACTOR DESIGNS AMT Good Candidate For:
Long lead time components High value components Complex geometries Obsolete parts Mitigation work High T environments Reduced weight Localizing the supply chain True Nth-of-a-kind And more
- Less labor; automated
- Less material; less waste Cost
- Reduced lead times; some up to 90%
Schedule
- Excellent inspectibility
- Excellent material properties
- Homogenous Quality
©2020 Nuclear Energy Institute 10 NEIs Advanced Manufacturing Task Force
- Broad membership to include:
- Advanced Reactor designers/developers
- Suppliers / manufacturers

©2020 Nuclear Energy Institute 16 Codes & Standards ACCELERATED ACCEPTANCE NEEDED RE: AMT
- ASME Sec. III Code Case-Submitted Aug. 2019 Laser Powder Bed Fusion (316L)
- ASME Special Committee on Advanced Manufacturing (formed 2017)
- Draft Pressure Technology Book:
Criteria for Pressure Retaining Metallic Components Using Additive Manufacturing
©2020 Nuclear Energy Institute 17 Where to go next?
DEVELOPMENT & INTEREST IN THE FOLLOWING AREAS More fuel assembly focus (current fleet)
Advanced reactor fuels Non-pressure boundary parts Pressure boundary parts (i.e. near net shape head)
Replacement of obsolete parts New alloys Dont forget about plastics!
And more Industry research & collaboration continues!
©2020 Nuclear Energy Institute 18 Legislative Works in Progress AMERICAN NUCLEAR INFRASTRUCTURE ACT (ANIA)
©2020 Nuclear Energy Institute 19 Additional Takeaways Utilize the OPEX from other industries (aerospace, defense, etc.) to the extent practicable; dont re-invent the wheel New-to-nuclear countries are looking to the U.S. to pave the way in AMT deployment Continue frequent dialogue amongst stakeholders (industry, NRC, SDOs, etc)
- Looking to NRC for a streamlined approach in line with their efforts to become a modern, risk-informed regulator**
Communicate, Communicate, Communicate!
