A digital twin is a virtual representation of an object or facility that mimics both the structure and behavior of the real object in real time. The foundation of a digital twin lies in its representation in an environment that enables various types of advanced computational experiments.
The aim is to create a full-scale digital geometry and material model of the concrete structures of a reactor containment. This tool, a digital twin, will provide better opportunities for monitoring and understanding the functioning of these structures. It will also enable testing and simulations of events that may affect the lifespan of the structures.
