  1. Girls in Technology Summit 2015GE Women’s Network / Women-in-Technology

  2. Welcome!

  3. Safety Minute • WALK don’t RUN!

  4. Introductions – Dance Icebreaker • Let’s see who has some MOVES!!

  5. Project Overview What is Nuclear Energy???

  6. What is Nuclear Energy???

  7. (Balloon) • (Mentos) • Water • (Coke) • Water • Boiling Water Reactor

  8. Engineering Design Process • http://www.tryengineering.org/lesson_detail.php?lesson=69

  9. Challenge Overview • Foreign Material Recovery Tool Design • Your team has been tasked with removing foreign material that found its way into the Spent Fuel Pool (SFP) during a refueling outage • Various items were left behind by a competitor’s crew that must be recovered by GEH professionals

  10. Challenge Overview • Foreign Materials found in the SFP include: • Stainless Steel Washer (14 Points) • Ballpoint Pen (16 Points) • Piece of Duct Tape (10 Points) • Gold Ring (12 Points) • Metal Screw (10 Points) • Plastic Screw (12 Points)

  11. Design Objectives • Each team is tasked with: • Presenting how your team create the tool (60-90 second presentation with 2 team members presenting) • Naming the product and creating a sign • Recovering as many foreign materials as possible (2 different team members) • Protecting fuel bundles to prevent damage (cannot move the pool weights from their zone) • Providing the most cost efficient option that meets the above requirements

  12. Design Rules • System must be assembled only from materials purchased from the Edison Store • Budget of $400 Edison dollars • Can visit the supply store as many as 4 times ONLY with a completed PO • Limited Stock • Test pool time (2 minutes) available for a cost of $75 • No materials may be added to or removed from the design once the design phase concludes • Time with the hot glue gun can be purchased, volunteer will glue for team as needed.

  13. Competition Rules • Order of the teams will be selected at random • When it is your team’s turn: • Two team members will present the tool (60-90 seconds) • Two different team members will act as operators of the tool • Team will then have 120 seconds to recover as many foreign materials as possible (in any order), while keeping outside of the boundaries (marked by yarn) • Foreign materials must be placed in shielded container • Any equipment that falls into the pool becomes new foreign material

  14. Competition Rules • Device may have two parts but they must be connected • Teams are permitted to physically interact, adjust, alter, or fix their tools during or between tests, as long as the modifications are made outside the SFP restricted areas • The engineering shift managers will determine if any fuel bundles have been disturbed and adjust team scores accordingly • All spending and penalties will be assessed for final scoring

  15. Scoring • Types of things judges will be looking for: • Most objects removed • Most amount of points • Quality of construction • Creativity (most unique design features) • Name/marketing/branding (aesthetic appeal) • Teamwork • Budget management

  16. Planning Design (no material) Duration: 10 Minutes

  17. Construction Duration: 40 Minutes 1 Buyer from each team

  18. Introduction to Engineering Duration: 20 Minutes
