CityU Seminar on Design of Accident Prevention System for LWR using ANN and HS Simulator

The seminar entitled “Design of an Accident Prevention System for Light Water Reactors Using the Artificial Neural Network and a Highspeed Simulator” was organized by Department of Mechanical Engineering, CityU on 27^th Feb 2019.  Seven years after Fukushima, the last missing pieces of the jigsaw puzzle of light water reactor (LWR) safety have been put together. In the United States, the nuclear power industry has implemented a diverse and flexible strategy, FLEX (NEI 2012), for severe accidents.  The system makes rapid predictions using a high-speed simulation code and artificial intelligence (AI) diagnostics was proposed by Dr. Li-Chi Cliff Po.  I would like to summarize today speech for sharing below.

 In the beginning, Dr. Li-Chi Cliff Po (Founder president of Micro-Simulation Technology) introduced his company “Micro-Simulation Technology” which established in 1985 and had developed PC-Windows based nuclear power plant simulator PCTRAN.

Then Dr. Po briefed “Risks” for Nuclear Power Plant Safety and discussed the deficiencies on Nuclear plant of Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA).  He proposed to use Artificial Intelligence (AI) machine learning of analyzed cases to build diagnosis algorithms and using Fast-speed simulation software to predict consequence way ahead actual damage.  Dr. Po also told us some severe accident in LWR under different situations.

After that he demonstrated the PC TRAN CRP1000 DBA and Severe Accident Simulator as follows.  

HKQAA Workshop for establishing Corporate University (Unit 2)

Hong Kong Quality Assurance Agency (HKQAA) organized three-day workshop named “Establish  own Corporate Academy / University: from Training, Educational Institution Management, and International Standards for Knowledge Management” (建立自身企業培訓學院：從培訓，教育機構管理，知識管理的國際標準取經) on 15^th , 22^nd Feb and 6^th Mar 2019. Unit 1 is Application of Training Management System (培訓管理體系的應用); Unit 2 is Management System Applicable to Educational Institutions (適用於教育機構的管理體系); and Unit 3 is Application of Knowledge Management System (知識管理體系的應用).  I attended the unit 2 today and shared the content below.

Mr. Don Siu (Auditor, HKQAA) was the workshop speaker and he briefed today’s workshop rundown included the introduction of ISO 21001:2018 – “Educational organizations — Management systems for educational organizations — Requirements with guidance for use” and some examples.

He showed the contents of ISO 21001:2018 which was followed ISO high level structure as similar as ISO 9001:2015.

In the beginning, he showed the Educational Organization Management System (EOMS) framework of ISO 21001 in the PDCA cycle. Then Mr. Siu mentioned principles for an EOMS as follows:

a)      Focus on learners  and other beneficiaries;

b)      Visionary leadership;

c)      Engagement of people;

d)     Process approach;

e)      Improvement

f)       Evidence-based decisions;

g)      Relationship management;

h)      Social responsibility;

i)        Accessibility and equity;

j)        Ethical conduct in education;

k)      Data security and protection.

Then Mr. Don Siu briefed the Educational Organization context.  He also stated needs and expectation of interested parties.  Unlike ISO 9001, interested parties described more details in ISO 21001:2018 Annex C in which included Learners, Other beneficiaries, Staff and Other.  

Dinner with Kenneth and Alice family (SQI) in Hong Kong

Minda and I were happy to have dinner with Kenneth (The former chairman of Singapore Quality Institute (SQI) & Asian Network for Quality (ANQ)) and Alice family on 22nd Feb 2019. In this time, we met Kenneth’s son, daughter-in-law and grandson. 

(Left: I, Mr. Kenneth Leung, Mr. Alex Leung, baby Logan, Ms. Jocelyn, Alice and Minda)

Time is flying! I remembered Kenneth and I visited Nissan Motor in 2009 during ANQ in Tokyo.  He told me his son’s dream car is a racing car (as diagram below).  But now his son used family car.  It is lucky that he hadn’t brought it before! Ha…Ha…

Baby Logan is very lovely.

HKQAA Workshop for establishing Corporate University (Unit 1)

Hong Kong Quality Assurance Agency (HKQAA) organized three-day workshop named “Establish  own Corporate Academy / University: from Training, Educational Institution Management, and International Standards for Knowledge Management” (建立自身企業培訓學院：從培訓，教育機構管理，知識管理的國際標準取經) on 15^th , 22^nd Feb and 6^th Mar 2019. Unit 1 is Application of Training Management System (培訓管理體系的應用); Unit 2 is Management System Applicable to Educational Institutions (適用於教育機構的管理體系); and Unit 3 is Application of Knowledge Management System (知識管理體系的應用).  In the beginning, Mr. Calvin Chan (Senior Account Manager, HKQAA) introduced the workshop in unit 1 and speaker.

I met two friends to join this workshop too. They were Mr. Terence KS Wong (Course Development Director, Hong Kong Association of Staff and Workers Education and Vocational Training) (Left) and Sr. Honby Chan (Managing Director, A1 Surveyors Limited) (Middle).

Mr. Don Siu (Auditor, HKQAA) was todays’ workshop speaker and his topics included four topics and they were ISO 10015:1999, ISO 9001:2015, Corporate University and Learning & Development and its functions.

Firstly, he introduced ISO 10015:1999 “Quality Management – Guidelines for Training”.  The figure showed how to improve quality by training from “Needs for Improvement” to “Analysis of Organization Needs” to “Competence Related Needs” to “Training Needs” and then to perform “Training”.

A four-stage training process were demonstrated and the workshop exercises were based on the following:

1.      Define training needs

2.      Design and plan training

3.      Provide for training

4.      Evaluate training outcomes

Monitoring is performed in each process.

Visit to TusPark Hong Kong

I attended the HKQAA workshop about corporate university and training on 15^th Feb 2019.  Accidentally, I passed the TusPark Hong Kong near the venue in early morning.  I had visited TusPark – Tsinghua University Science Park in Beijing on 6^th Nov 2015 after the 3^rd Chinese Quality Forum (CQF).  I took a photo in the main entry.

Tuspark, standing for Tsinghua University Science Park, is an international business incubator where multicultural tech startup founders were grown together.  Tuspark Hong Kong, based in HK, has a mission to facilitate the growth of the startup eco-system and to cultivate technology entrepreneurial cultures in Hong Kong.

I also took a photo in front of the TusPark Logo.

After the morning workshop, I visited TusPark again with my classmate Mr. Terence KS Wong (Course Development Director, Hong Kong Association of Staff and Workers Education and Vocational Training).  We both are HKQF ITAC committee member.  

Luckily, I met TusPark Hong Kong staff during lunch time and exchange contact information for inviting them to participate our research project (HKSQ & HKQAA) named “Feasibility Study on the Quality of Hong Kong Start-up Development for Supporting the Sustainable Business Growth”.  We met Mr. Sam Wong (General Manager, TusPark Hong Kong) and Mr. Alvin Lam (Senior Business Manager, TusPark Hong Kong).

We would make an appointment to discuss it with HKQAA members in next time.
