Fermilab center renamed after late particle physicist Helen Edwards
Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory’s Integrated Engineering Research Center, which officially opened in January 2024, is now known as the Helen Edwards Engineering Center. The name was changed to honor the late particle physicist who led the design, construction, commissioning, and operation of the lab’s Tevatron accelerator and was part of the Water Resources Development Act signed by President Biden in December 2024, according to a Fermilab press release.

This workshop will demonstrate the usage of MOOSE-based and MOOSE wrapped applications, which are used for high fidelity analysis of several advanced reactor designs. The training will focus on multiscale and multiphysics analyses of pebble bed reactors. The CFD codes NekRS, Pronghorn, and Cardinal will be demonstrated along with Griffin, the NEAMS reactor transport application. The MOOSE’s Multiapp and Transfer systems will be addressed in detail and used for coupling these applications to capture critical physics-based feedback mechanisms critical to the passive safety features of advanced reactors. The workshop is a joint effort between Argonne and Idaho National Laboratories researchers.
