Title Nuclear Energy Enabling Technologies (NEET) - Advanced Methods for Manufacturing Agencies United States Department of Energy (DOE) Description The Advanced Methods for Manufacturing program seeks to conduct research and technology development to improve the methods by which nuclear equipment, components, and plants are manufactured, fabricated, and assembled. The initial focus and emphasis will be placed on Small Modular Reactor (SMR) technologies. Awarded projects could draw upon innovative and successful manufacturing and fabrication practices found in related industries such as oil, aircraft, and shipbuilding. These projects will pursue innovative methods to manufacture or fabricate components faster and with better quality; and to improve factory assembly of plant modules, thereby reducing the cost and schedule requirements for new nuclear plant deployment. Specific goals include the following: 1. Accelerate deployment schedule by 3 to 6 months compared to new plant construction estimates. 2. Reduce component fabrication costs by 20% or more. 3. Increase performance of key subsystems without cost increase or schedule delay. The program seeks to develop manufacturing and fabrication innovation, assembly processes and materials innovation that support the "factory fabrication" and expeditious deployment of SMR technologies. Potential areas for exploration can be found in the NEET Workshop report (http://www.nuclear.gov). Additional areas in the 2010 SMR Workshop report (http://www.ne.doe.gov/smrworkshop/docs/MatFuelFabMethods_PanelSum.pdf) can include (but are not limited to) - technology development in laser-hybrid welding processes, - integrated welding and non-destructive examination systems, - near-shape component manufacturing systems, - assembly and material innovation to enhance modular building techniques such as advances in composite structures, seismic based isolation, and pre-assembled rebar systems, - sophisticated modeling to improve module design, fabrication and field assembly sequencing, resource and project management, and - SMR "factory fabrication" concepts. Through innovation in manufacturing, fabrication and assembly, significant advancements in nuclear technology quality, performance and economic improvements will be achieved. One of the key success criteria for the program is the development of products or components that will gain acceptance by the appropriate regulatory or standard-setting bodies and licensed for commercial nuclear plant deployment.
