OpenNeoMC:an Open-source Tool for Particle Transport Optimization that Combining OpenMC with NEORL

OpenMC is a community-developed Monte Carlo neutron and photon transport simulation code for particle transport. OpenMC was originally developed by members of the Computational Reactor Physics Group at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology starting in 2011.

NEORL (NeuroEvolution Optimization with Reinforcement Learning) is a set of implementations of hybrid algorithms combining neural networks and evolutionary computation based on a wide range of machine learning and evolutionary intelligence architectures. NEORL aims to solve large-scale optimization problems relevant to operation & optimization research, engineering, business, and other disciplines. NEORL was established in MIT back in 2020 with feedback, validation, and usage of different colleagues.

In OpenNeoMC, we combine these two open-source tools to empower particle transport with state-of-the-art optimization techniques. We firstly provide users with easy ways to install the framework that combines NEORL with OpenMC, and a simple example is available to test the framework. Then we offer two practical engineering optimization applications in nuclear physics. More applications that involve both optimization and nuclear physics will be added in the future. We highly welcome users and researchers in the nuclear area to contribute OpenNeoMC and solve engineering problems in this framework.

Installing OpenNeoMC

Installation on Linux/Mac with conda

Install Conda

Please install conda before proceeding, it will bring you convenience to install anaconda directly, which includes conda and other necessary python packages.

Install OpenMC

conda config --add channels conda-forge
conda search openmc

Create a new virtual environment named openneomc

conda create -n openneomc openmc

Test OpenMC

Follow with the official examples to test the OpenMC

Cross Section Configuration

You may encounter the no cross_sections.xml error when running OpenMC. This is caused by the missing of nuclear data, you could solve it refer to Cross Section Configuration

Download cross section data

Various cross section data are available on the OpenMC official website, from the OpenMC team, LANL, etc. In OpenNeoMC, we use ENDF/B-VII.1 in default. But if you have specific purpose, you can use other data that you need.

After downloading the cross-section data file, configure it as an environmental variable as follows.

Add environmental variables

## Temporary methods
# in python
import os
os.environ['OPENMC_CROSS_SECTIONS'] = '/PATH/cross_sections.xml'
# in shell
export OPENMC_CROSS_SECTIONS=../cross_sections.xml

## Once for all: you can modify the ~/.bashrc to configure environmental variables
# open ~/.bashrc
vim ~/.bashrc
# add the following command in the end 
export OPENMC_CROSS_SECTIONS=/PATH/cross_sections.xml
# update 
source ~/.bashrc

Install NEORL

Install python 3.7 to make sure the stable run of tensorflow-1.14.0

conda install python=3.7 
pip install neorl==1.6

Check the version of sciki-learn, if it is 1.x, downgrade the scikit-learn version to 0.24.2

# check version
python -c 'import sklearn; print(sklearn.__version__)'

# downgrade the sklearn version if necessary
pip install scikit-learn==0.24.2

Check if you have install NEORL successfully by unit test.

neorl

If you see the 'NEORL' logo, then you have prepared the OpenNeoMC framework, congratulations!

Test OpenNeoMC

Let's test OpenNeoMC by the 'pin_cell_test.py' example.

Remember to configure environmental variables as above!

# run 
python pin_cell_test.py

If you see the 'NEORL' logo and the log information of OpenMC, then congratulations!

Installing OpenNeoMC with Docker on Linux/Mac/Windows

Installing OpenNeoMC with docker is highly recommended! In this way, you need not worry about issues like cross-section data and software compatibility, etc. All you need to do are simply pull the image and run it in your own machine with any OS.

Install Docker

Follow the official tutorial to Install docker on your machine: get docker

Install OpenNeoMC

After installing docker, your can easily install use OpenNeoMC framework within only four steps:

# Pull docker images from dock hub  
sudo docker pull 489368492/openneomc

# Check the openmc docker images
sudo docker images

# Run the openmc images to create container named `openneomc`
sudo docker run -tid --shm-size=8G --gpus all --name openneomc -v /LocalWorkingDir/:/workspace/ 489368492/openneomc

# Execute the container
sudo docker exec -it openneomc /bin/bash

Note: in docker run step, the -v flag mounts the current working directory into the container, which is very convenient for users.

Please refer to Docker CLI for docker command-line descriptions.

Other commonly used commands

# Exit the container
exit

# Stop the container
sudo docker stop openneomc

# Start the container
sudo docker start openneomc

# Delete the container
sudo docker rm openneomc

# Delete the image(remove the container first)
sudo docker image rm 489368492/openneomc

Test OpenNeoMC

Let's test OpenNeoMC by the 'pin_cell_test.py' example, which can be found at /home

# cd /home
cd /home

# run 
python pin_cell_test.py

If you see the 'NEORL' logo and the log information of OpenMC, then congratulations!

The program runs around 3 minutes(may vary depending on your CPU), and the results are like:
