The researchers applied the SHRED network to the deployed TRIGA Mark II research reactor, aiming to achieve reliable state estimation for the engineering system. This architecture utilizes synthetic temperature data generated by fluid dynamics models and experimental temperature data, processing sparse measurements and noise through integrated strategies. All relevant fields can be reconstructed in real time without the need for hyperparameter adjustment. Experimental evaluations show that this method is robust under physical constraints and with low dynamic sensor locations, with a relative error of less than 4% in average Euclidean norm and a root-mean-square temperature error of 1.52 K (better than the 1.85 K of the CFD model). It also has self-correction capabilities, making it suitable for constructing interpretable monitoring and control systems for nuclear reactor digital twins.
