The researchers proposed an efficient parametric state estimation method based on a shallow circulation decoder network, which is applied to the fourth-generation molten salt fast reactor (MSFR). This method requires only three neutron flux time series data from non-core regions to infer the complete reactor state vector, including neutron flux, precursor concentration, temperature, pressure, and velocity. The study extended the standard framework to handle parametric time series data and verified its accurate estimation capabilities under various operating conditions. Thanks to its extremely low training cost, this method can also quantify the uncertainty of state estimation, and its ability to real-time reconstruct various characteristic fields makes it suitable for monitoring and control in the reactor digital twin framework.
