Abstract

Embodiments are directed to providing a user interface (UI) that streamlines and simplifies the process of monitoring critical power-generation module (PGM) parameters after a PGM assembly is shutdown. The UI displays, in real-time, indicators corresponding to one or more post-shutdown PGM parameters. The UI provides indications of whether the post-shutdown PGM parameters meet post-shutdown criteria of the PGM assembly. When a post-shutdown PGM parameter does not meet the post-shutdown criteria, a user alert is provided to the user. A protocol may additionally be provided to the user. In some embodiments, the protocol may enable the user to return the PGM assembly to a condition that satisfies the post-shutdown criteria. The protocol may be a safety protocol and/or an asset protection protocol.

Description

PRIORITY CLAIM[0001]This patent application claims the priority of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 62 / 205084, entitled SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF OPERATOR NOTIFICATIONS AND POST-SHUTDOWN DISPLAYS FOR MODULAR FUSION-BASED POWER PLANTS, filed on Aug. 14, 2015, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The application relates to a power-generation module and, more particularly but not exclusively to, monitoring one or more power-generation modules after a power-generation module shutdown event.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]After the operation of a nuclear reactor is shutdown, that is to say that the effective neutron multiplication factor of the core falls below criticality (keff<1), the core continues to generate at least heat and radioactivity. Furthermore, the core may continue to generate pressure within a containment vessel that houses the reactor, as well as within plumbing associated with reactor cool...
