Within the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Nuclear Energy's NEAMS program, the Application Drivers Technical Area has been tasked to demonstrate the ability of the NEAMS tools to perform high-fidelity and multiphysics simulations on nuclear microreactors. These are designed by various vendors and U.S. government programs to power remote communities or industrial sites. Microreactors are challenging traditional tools due to their reliance on innovative technologies and their flexible operation requirements. The advanced codes developed under the NEAMS program are meant to provide the capability to perform coupled multiphysics transient simulations enabling reactor designers to optimize microreactor performance under a wide range of potential operating conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
