Working evenings and weekends on Doctorate dissertation, combining two Master's (Semiconductors and Nuclear) in Engineering to focus on Industry 4.0 and Industry 5.0 development of AI, robotics and automation in Nuclear projects.

//
Brief intro to Lean transform for Industry 5.0: Lean transformation for Industry 5.0 production
//

My vision of Industry 5.0 Nuclear reactors, that will work in the next generation of Nuclear plants and mobile Nuclear Power (i.e. Arctic Ice Breakers), 5.0 features for increased Safety and Efficiency:

- No-human-involved generation process, loading and refueling control with remote management.

- Robotics automation and AI systems for all mechanized and logistic procedures.

- Hardened Electronics (Radiation, chemical and PVT hardening).

- Fast-neutron reactors.

- Multiplier and rectifier modules for recycling and reapplication of Nuclear wasted fuel in secondary reactors.

- RF resonance sensing curcuits and network.

- Superconductors for energy transfer and storage (non-Helium, room temp superconductivity).

- Synthesis of secondary decay products for radioactive medical and research purpose materials (proton therapy, imaging, diagnistic and therapeutic materials)

- Proxy-facilities development around the 4.0/5.0 Nuclear plant - radioactivity labs, medical therapy labs, science R&D labs, refueling and recharging stations for Naval and Space programs.

Leaders in competition:

1. China is currently leading in automation of control and superconductors (continuously improving Japanese, German and French industrial controls technologies).

2. Russia (RosAtom) has built unique for the moment operating Multiplier Fast-neutron reactors, processes Nuclear wasted fuel and uses it in secondary reactors. The products of decay are safer and can be used for medical and other purposes.
reference: New type of Nuclear Reactor will produce energy and recycle wasted Nuclear fuel into secondary Nuclear fuel for itself

3. Russia (RosAtomFlot) possesses an unprecedented fleet of 8 Nuclear powered Ice Breakers and builds more for Arctic exploration and trade routes.

I used to ignore PMP certification, as well as Six Sigma belt certifications, as my PhD research 18 years ago was devoted to Reengineering, TQM and Edward Deming's art of processes and quality, and extensive experience in practical and in-depth process analysis, and multiple ISO implementations made me think that PMPs and Belts see only the tip of the iceberg of what researchers do.

But in my 40ies I decided to check what they are actually talking about in PMI and ASQ and it was great to refresh some knowledge and to learn something new.

Good to know for those who are fresh to Quality:

#1 - Where it all started - Edward Deming - PDCA (PDSA) act:

You repeat the process until you finally get the solution.
--------------------------------------------------------------

Further development led to Six Sigma methodologies to be created

#2 - Six Sigma DMAIC cycle (Define - Measure - Analyze - Improve - Control)

You repeat the process until you get your EXISTING business process improved
--------------------------------------------------------------

#3 - Six Sigma DMADV cycle (Define - Measure - Analyze - Design - Verify)

You repeat the process until you develop a NEW business process or deliverable outcome (product or Minimum Viable Product (MVP)
--------------------------------------------------------------

Manage - means implement the plan, follow what you stated in it.
Monitor - check and compare your actions with the plan, make sure you follow it.

[Рецепт хлеба]

Для тех, кто его забыл.
Ингредиенты:
600 г муки;
1 пакетик сухих дрожжей;
1 стакан воды;
2 кофейные ложки сахара;
1 кофейная ложка соли;
немного сливочного масла.
Высыпать дрожжи и сахар в воду, дать постоять полчаса. Образуется плотная сероватая пена. Высыпать в миску муку, добавить соль, сделать углубление в центре, помешивая, медленно вылить в него жидкость. Накрыть миску и дать постоять четверть часа в теплом, защищенном от сквозняков месте. Идеальная температура – 27 градусов, если это невозможно, пусть температура будет ниже. Жара убьет дрожжи. Когда тесто поднимется, помесить его обеими руками. Потом дать ему еще тридцать минут для того, чтобы оно снова поднялось. Затем выпекать в течение часа в печи или на горячих древесных углях.
