Automated monitoring of the coolant temperature can enable autonomous operation generation IV reactors (GenIV), thus reducing their operating and maintenance costs. Automation be accomplished with machine learning (ML) models trained on historical sensor data. However, performance ML usually depends availability large amount training data, which is difficult to obtain for GenIV, as this technology still under development. We propose use transfer (TL), involves utilizing knowledge across different domains, compensate lack TL used create pre-trained data from small-scale research facilities, then fine-tuned monitor GenIV reactors. In work, we develop Transformer long short-term memory (LSTM) networks by them measurements thermal hydraulic flow loops water Galinstan fluids at room Argonne National Laboratory.
