ANS is committed to advancing, fostering, and promoting the development and application of nuclear sciences and technologies to benefit society.
Explore the many uses for nuclear science and its impact on energy, the environment, healthcare, food, and more.
Division Spotlight
Decommissioning & Environmental Sciences
The mission of the Decommissioning and Environmental Sciences (DES) Division is to promote the development and use of those skills and technologies associated with the use of nuclear energy and the optimal management and stewardship of the environment, sustainable development, decommissioning, remediation, reutilization, and long-term surveillance and maintenance of nuclear-related installations, and sites. The target audience for this effort is the membership of the Division, the Society, and the public at large.

The Consortium for Advanced Simulation of Light Water Reactors Virtual Meeting
Technical Session|Panel|Sponsored by Advanced Modeling Applications
Tuesday, November 17, 2020|12:00–2:10PM EST
Session Chair:
David Kropaczek (ORNL)
Alternate Chair:
Lucas Kyriazidis (NRC)
Session Organizer:
Scott P. Palmtag (NC State Univ.)
Staff Producer:
Joseph Coale (NC State Univ.)
The Consortium for Advanced Simulation of Light Water Reactors (CASL) was founded in July 2010 as a Department of Energy (DOE) Energy Innovation Hub with the mission to develop, apply, and deploy advanced modeling and simulation (M&S) technologies to address operational and safety performance challenges impacting the performance of the Light Water Reactor fleet. In 2018, a collaboration between DOE and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) was initiated to evaluate the use of high-fidelity modeling and simulation tools in the regulatory environment. The primary objective of the program plan was the use of existing capabilities of CASL and the VERA code suite to demonstrate the potential benefits that advanced modeling and simulation can have in the NRC’s regulatory framework. This panel provides a detailed discussion of the DOE and NRC collaboration activities.
