Prediction of Automatic Scram during Abnormal Conditions of Nuclear Power Plants Based on Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Dropout by Hanying Chen, Puzhen Gao, Sichao Tan, Hongsheng Yuan, Mingxiang Guan

“…The proposed model was trained by simulated condition data of abnormal conditions; the input of the model was the deviation of the monitoring parameters from the normal operating state, and the output was the remaining time from the current moment to the upcoming reactor trip. The predicted remaining time to the reactor trip decreases with the development of abnormal conditions; thus, the output of the proposed model generates a predicted countdown to the reactor trip. …”
