The toolkit includes Shift and OpenMC for neutron particle transport and reactor depletion and NekRS for thermal fluid dynamics.Īlthough most of these codes are already well established in science and industry, the ExaSMR team has given them a complete HPC makeover. ExaSMR integrates the most reliable computer codes available for modeling the physics of this operation, creating a toolkit that can predict a reactor design’s entire fission process. This energy turns water into steam, which spins electricity-producing turbines. “In large part, that’s what simulation is buying companies: a predictive capability that tells you how certain features will perform so that you don’t need to physically construct or perform as many experiments, which are enormously expensive.”Ĭoupling physics codes into a more powerful wholeĬommercial nuclear reactors generate electricity by splitting uranium nuclei to release energy in a process known as fission. “By accurately predicting the nuclear reactor fuel cycle, ExaSMR reduces the number of physical experiments that reactor designers would perform to justify fuel use,” said Steven Hamilton, ExaSMR project leader and R&D scientist in the HPC Methods for Nuclear Applications Group at DOE’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Supported by the Department of Energy’s Exascale Computing Project since 2016, the ExaSMR project endeavors to make large-scale nuclear reactor simulations easier to access, cheaper to run and more accurate than the current state of the art. Meanwhile, ARCs explore new technologies to produce fission power more efficiently and safely.Įxascale Small Modular Reactor, or ExaSMR for short, aims to provide the nuclear industry’s engineers with the highest-resolution simulations of reactor systems to date and, in turn, help advance the future of fission power. SMRs are substantially smaller than most commercial nuclear reactors today and use standardized designs, reducing construction costs and production time. The advent of small modular reactors, or SMRs, and advanced reactor concepts, or ARCs, signals a new generation of fission power. But that percentage could start increasing soon. All submissions must include relevant flair.As renewable sources of energy such as wind and sun power are being increasingly added to the country’s electrical grid, old-fashioned nuclear energy is also being primed for a resurgence.įor the past 20 years, fission reactors have produced a nearly unchanging portion of the nation’s electricity: around 20%.Using/asking for help with cracked/pirated clients will result in a ban from all FTB subreddits.Content creators must follow these new rules.Posts and links for money and donations will be removed unless for registered charities and the mods are provided proof that all the money will be given to the organization(s).Finding others to play with belong in /r/MinecraftBuddies All Crashes/Issues go to #player-help in our Discord (for all issues, not just crashes).
