“…Robotic systems and automated machinery can perform repetitive tasks such as assembly, welding, material handling, and inspection with high accuracy and speed (Sandler, 1999). Automation not only increases productivity, but also reduces the risk of errors and enhances workplace safety (Crooks et al, 1994;Teizer et al, 2013;Dixit et al, 2019). In the nuclear industry, automation can help streamline manufacturing processes, optimize workflows, and ensure consistent quality control (Nelson and Haney, 1993;Crooks et al, 1994).…”

Advanced manufacturing techniques and digital twin technology are rapidly transforming the nuclear industry, offering the potential to enhance productivity, safety, and cost-effectiveness. Customized parts are being produced using additive manufacturing, automation, and robotics, while digital twin technology enables the virtual modeling and optimization of complex systems. These advanced technologies can significantly improve operational efficiency, predict system behavior, and optimize maintenance schedules in the nuclear energy sector, leading to heightened safety and reduced downtime. However, the nuclear industry demands the highest levels of safety and security, as well as intricate manufacturing processes and operations. Thus, challenges such as data management and cybersecurity must be addressed to fully realize the potential of advanced manufacturing techniques and digital twin technology in the nuclear industry. This comprehensive review highlights the critical role of digital twin technology with advanced manufacturing toward nuclear energy to improve performance, minimize downtime, and heighten safety, ultimately contributing to the global energy mix by providing dependable and low-carbon electricity.

“…Based on this representation, the sequences of process operations were generated in the form of an operating procedures network (OPNet). Crooks et al (1994) developed an automated system called computer aided procedure synthesis (CAPS) for generating operating procedures for batch processes. They used state task networks (STNs) for the representation of the batch recipe.…”
