Automatic MCNP File Generation for Cherenkov Imaging Simulations [Slides]

Overview: Creating physics models to accurately simulate a variety of spent fuel assemblies. These characterized simulations will then be used to create a well documented repository that encompasses a wide variety of different fuel assemblies, burn-up and spent fuel pool conditions, and defects. The final project will use our simulations to train an AI, and for it to be effective it has to have a lot of reliable data; Automating an arbitrary amount of created spent fuel pins with materials, that will be passed into AI models for it to "learn" what a good spent nuclear fuel cell looks like and what a non-spent nuclear fuel cell looks like.
