AI in support of diagnostics

Poster

Optical emission spectroscopy is widely used for plasma diagnostics, but profile-based temperature estimation remains sensitive to line selection, instrumental broadening [1], noise, baseline distortions and overlapping spectral features. In this work, a multi-window artificial neural-network architecture is developed for spectrum-level temperature estimation from emission spectra of...

Poster

To surrogate the kinetic states, ne and Te of tokamak plasma, we present a Fully Connected Neural Network (FCNN), benchmarked against synthetic-tokamak database. A novel numerical database generation methodology is being proposed. To generate the dataset, we parameterized the nonlinear source terms of Grad Schafranov equation using a basis set of 12 distinct and experimental magnetic...

Environmental applications and safety

Poster

This work falls within the framework of radiological emergency planning for accidents at nuclear reactors located beyond the Italian national border, with specific reference to the scenario of a severe accident at the Krško PWR nuclear power plant in Slovenia, the nearest nuclear facility to the Italian border. The geographical proximity of the plant to Italian territory makes it necessary to...

37. Cryogenic response of Distributed Optical Fiber Sensor coatings under cyclic thermal shocks

Environmental applications and safety

Poster

The development of Distributed Optical Fiber Sensors (DOFS) for cryogenic environments is crucial for accurate measurements under extreme thermal conditions, such as those found in fusion power plants. Such as High-Temperature-Superconductors (HTS), these are considered enabling technology for the future high magnetic field and compact nuclear fusion reactors. The possibility to use FOS...

13. DAIMoND: Development of an AI-Monitored Neutron Diagnostic

AI in support of diagnostics

Poster

The fuel ion ratio is an essential parameter to be measured in magnetic fusion devices featuring deuterium-tritium operation. One way of obtaining it is to compare the competing 14.06 MeV deuterium-tritium (DT) and the 2.45 MeV deuterium-deuterium (DD) neutron fluxes by measuring them using a detector with spectroscopic capability. Diamond detectors (which are already scheduled to be installed...

20. FBG Based Structural Health Monitoring for the Conservation of the Ponari Nymphaeum

Cultural heritage

Poster

Ponari Nymphaeum, located in the archaeological area of ancient Casinum at the foot of Montecassino (Italy), is one of the best-preserved examples of a Roman coenatio aestiva, a summer dining and leisure space dating to the 1st century BC. Although previous investigations indicated that the monument has reached a relatively stable equilibrium, it remains affected by geotechnical risks...

36. Fiber Optic Sensor Networks for Continuous Structural Monitoring of Water Pipeline Bridges: Data Analysis and Scalability

Davide Vicca (ENEA)

19/10/2026, 16:10

Environmental applications and safety

Poster

The management of the integrated water cycle relies on a complex network of installations (dams, reservoirs, pipelines, and treatment plants) that depends heavily on energy grids. Since these assets are highly vulnerable to both natural and anthropogenic hazards, implementing advanced, systemic monitoring strategies is essential to ensure their security and resilience.
Within this...

Fusion products

Poster

GENeuSIS (General Experimental Neutron System Irradiation Station) is a modular, flexible, and transportable neutron irradiation assembly, made of layers of different materials. Its purpose is to reproduce target fusion neutron energy spectra within a dedicated test cavity. At the moment, it is assembled at the Frascati Neutron Generator (FNG) and relies on the 14 MeV neutrons produced by...

77. Machine Learning-Assisted Structural Diagnostics of the DTT Vacuum Vessel Through Modal Reconstruction

AI in support of diagnostics

Poster

Structural diagnostics plays a key role in ensuring the integrity, safety, and reliability of complex engineering systems. A major challenge in structural health monitoring is reconstructing the global structural response from a limited number of displacement or strain measurements acquired at accessible locations. This challenge is particularly critical in fusion devices, where harsh...

AI in support of diagnostics

Poster

The growing availability of portable, field-deployable spectrometers has expanded the range of applications in spectral analysis, but it also presents a significant challenge: measurements of the same sample obtained from instruments with different spectral windows and resolutions are often not directly comparable, limiting the ability to build robust and generalizable classification models....

DIAGNOSTICS FOR FUSION MACHINES EAST Diagnostics

Poster

In a future D-T fusion reactor, neutron diagnostic will be one of the key diagnostics because the neutron has information for the birth profile of alpha particles, fuel ion density ratio, and fuel ion temperature if the plasma is Maxwellian. Diamond detectors are very promising candidates for neutron diagnostics in the harsh radiation environment of a fusion reactor because of their high...
