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
Operations & Power
Members focus on the dissemination of knowledge and information in the area of power reactors with particular application to the production of electric power and process heat. The division sponsors meetings on the coverage of applied nuclear science and engineering as related to power plants, non-power reactors, and other nuclear facilities. It encourages and assists with the dissemination of knowledge pertinent to the safe and efficient operation of nuclear facilities through professional staff development, information exchange, and supporting the generation of viable solutions to current issues.

Session Chair:
Eva E. Davidson
Session Organizer:
With increased high-performance computing (HPC) capabilities, multiphysics codes for reactor applications can be powerful in simulating complex reactor behavior for advanced reactors and the current fleet of light water reactors. There are many advantages to simulating reactor behavior with multiphysics codes, and they can aid in the design and licensing of reactor concepts. However, there are challenges to coupling codes simulating various physical phenomena including working with different time scales, meshes, units etc. which will be discussed. In addition, the panel discussions will include additional issues such as verification and validation of multiphysics codes and software usability by analysts who are not subject matter experts in all physical phenomena being simulated.
