Predictive analytics for maintenance activities in nuclear power plants: a feasibility study
… to predict target variables. Representative Naval Propulsion Plant data with variables similar to that in the nuclear industry are used as nuclear data is not available in the public domain. Experimental results confirm target variables can be predicted with relatively high accuracy, with …

Examination of the proposed conversion of the U.S. Navy nuclear fleet from highly enriched Uranium to low enriched Uranium
… if it claims that the materials will be used for naval nuclear propulsion purposes. The United States ability to negotiate a closing of this loophole is hampered by the fact that its entire nuclear fleet is powered by highly enriched uranium (HEU). In 1995, the U.S. Navy issued a report indicating …

Evaluation of non-intrusive monitoring for condition based maintenance applications on US Navy propulsion plants
… on US Navy ships as part of the Office of Naval Research Electric Ship Integration (ESI) Initiative. The NILM is a device that measures an electrical component's performance by applying a single voltage and current transducer to a ship's existing power distribution system. The NILM was …

Applying Systems Theory to Analyze Cyber Resiliency of Naval Engineering Systems
… connected to the digital and cyber worlds, our naval engineering systems face new threats that could compromise and damage essential engineering components. Potentially, access to these physical systems by threat actors through the cyber interactions could render a ship useless if proper …

Stacks of high temperature superconducting tape as trapped field magnets for energy applications
… added weight comes at a premium, such as for naval propulsion motors, wind generators and motors/generators for future electric aircraft. This work investigates the suitability of stacked tape layers of second generation high temperature superconductors (HTS), such as YBa2Cu3O7-x (YBCO) for …
