NEAMS Workbench Status and Capabilities

Modeling the IFR-1 Experiment: A BISON Metallic Fuel Benchmark

“…NEAMS is developing computational tools that allow researchers to shed light on current problems and new ideas in unique ways that were previously considered impractical due to their excruciating detail. NEAMS can enhance understanding in areas ranging from changes in nuclear fuel materials to full-scale power plant operations [2].…”

“…This is accomplished by using computing architectures ranging from laptops to leadership-class computer facilities. The tools in the NEAMS ToolKit will enable transformative scientific discovery and insights otherwise not attainable or affordable and will accelerate the solutions to existing problems, as well as deployment of new designs for current and advanced reactors [2].…”

“…The NEAMS Workbench is a software being developed to facilitate the transition from conventional to high-fidelity computational tools by providing a common user interface for model creation, review, execution, output review, and visualization for integrated codes [2].…”

“…Additionally, the common user input processor can provide an enhanced alternative application input that provides additional conveniences over the native input, especially for legacy codes. The various integrated codes and application templates available in NEAMS Workbench broaden the user community and facilitate system analysis and design [2].…”

“…1 The radius is not explicitly stated; the reference provides the slug's outer diameter, which was used to derive the radius value listed. 2 All line number references in the text of this report refer to line numbers in Appendix A. 3 Pitch is not explicitly stated; however, the source defines the outer diameters of the pin and wire.…”
