The NRC • Organization • Mission • Different from military applications • Similar HF needs / research
NRC Activities • Study / validation (1990s) • Staffing • Alarm systems • Remote Afterloading Brachytherapy • Evaluation • Staffing (Development Complete) • Operator Workload (Current)
Why the NRC uses Simulation • Simple • Comprehensive • Easy to Use • Faster than real time data collection • Enhances understanding of system • Supplements empirical research
IMPRINT for NRC application • IMPRINT developed for: • Early design evaluation • Opportunity to affect design • Single system acquisition • Distributed / environmental extremes • NRC needs: • Post-construction evaluation • Opportunity to affect operations • Multiple variations of similar system evaluation • Fixed environment
Possible Opportunities • Cooperative research • Possible uses for Imprint and other variants • Cost sharing • Development of future research regarding Imprint applications • Data sharing • Related applications for simulation • Any background information related to staffing or operator workload
