The K.I.S.S. project – an overview

Abstract

The joint project K.I.S.S. started on May 1, 2024 and has a duration of 36 months. The overall aim of the project is to strengthen knowledge and project management in the field of decommissioning and approval management of nuclear facilities through coordinated and interlinked platforms and to adapt process management to current conditions through practical solutions. This includes in particular the qualification of specialists (e.g. lateral entrants and newcomer), approval management and digital solutions through the use of AI for integrated organizational management and sustainable dismantling strategies. Innovative and digital technologies are being developed to promote the retention of skills in the industry and support the training and further education of the younger generation, among other things. The project contributes to strengthening and expanding the position of German institutions and companies, with the aim of cooperating with international partners.The K.I.S.S. project is divided into three specialist modules:Module 1: Hybrid and innovative community platform - The aim is to strengthen knowledge and project management in the field of decommissioning and approval management of nuclear facilities through coordinated and interlinked solutions (digital smart campus, mobile training station, learning management environment, etc.). Module 2: Digital platform for approval projects - The aim is to develop a digital platform for approval projects based on blockchain technology to enable the audit-proof transmission of procedural documents and transparent and real-time communication between the parties involved in the process to accelerate projects. Module 3: AI-supported process management for dismantling - The aim is to implement a management system for AI-supported process management for dismantling so that the extensive data can be better processed, and the organization and structuring of the repository documentation can be optimized. Each module has its own application focus, whereby the synergy is based on the coordinated use of the basic technologies and software solutions.Projectpartners: Actimondo eG (Coordinator and Lead Module 1), Advanced Nuclear Fuels GmbH, Dornier Nuclear Services GmbH, FIR e. V. at RWTH Aachen University (Lead Module 2), Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH, Gesellschaft für Anlagen und Reaktorsicherheit gGmbH (Lead Module 3), TU Dresden, Chair of Educational Technology / CODIP - Center for Open Digital Innovation and ParticipationThe project is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). A particular focus is on involving and promoting the younger generation. Measures include the presentation of research results in summer schools, participation in international conferences and the opportunity for young scientists to take an active part in research and development.
