N2 - The development of small modular reactors (SMRs) is expected to provide the United States with an economically viable energy option. Advanced automated diagnostics and prognostics techniques for both active (e.g. coolant pumps and motors) and passive components (e.g. structural elements - pressure vessel, piping) are expected to be an important part of SMR design and operation to enable optimal maintenance scheduling, minimize staff demands and unit downtime, and ensure effective lifetime and risk management of high-cost, safety significant components.
