AGC-3 Specimen Load Calculations by Stack

Abstract

This Engineering Calculations and aAnalysis Report (ECAR) documents the results of the threshold averaging on the load cell data taken during the third advanced graphite creep (AGC) test, AGC 3. Specimens were irradiated in the Advance Test Reactor (ATR) during Cycles 152B, 154B, 155A, and 155B (the AGC-3 capsule was not in ATR for Cycles 153A/B and 154A). During each cycle, the specimens located in the upper portions of the stacks were subjected to a compressive load. The applied load of each stack was monitored and load data were recorded in 1 minute intervals. Collecting data detailing the loads applied over the life of the experiment is necessary for use in future analyses. This load summary data will be used in creep rate estimations and post irradiation examination of material properties.

Large language models for transportation research: Methodologies, state of the art, and future opportunities

The rapid rise of large language models (LLMs) is transforming transportation research, with significant advancements emerging between 2023 and 2025, a period marked by the inception and swift growth of adopting and adapting LLMs for various transportation applications. Despite these significant advancements, however, a systematic review and synthesis of the existing literature remains lacking. This paper aims to fill this gap by providing a comprehensive review of the methodologies and applications of LLMs in transportation. We explore key applications, including autonomous driving, travel behavior prediction, and general transportation-related queries, alongside LLM methodologies such as zero- or few-shot learning, prompt engineering, and fine-tuning. From the review, critical research gaps are identified. From the methodological perspective, many of the research limitations can be addressed by integrating LLMs with existing tools and refining LLM architectures. From the application perspective, research opportunities for LLMs to address various transportation challenges are also explored. By synthesizing these findings, this review not only presents the state-of-the-art LLM adoption and adaptation in transportation, but also proposes future research directions as well as insights and recommendations for policymakers and practitioners, paving the way for greater LLM-driven research innovations in transportation in the future.
