Argonne study evaluates impact of tropical cyclones on nuclear power plants
Scientists at Argonne National Laboratory have published a study evaluating the risk of flooding caused by tropical cyclones on coastal infrastructure, including nuclear power plants. The study, published in npj Natural Hazards, used advanced computer simulations of thousands of cyclone scenarios to make projections of potential damage of extreme storm tides in coastal areas—a threat that is expected to increase as a result of climate change. The researchers stated that their projections could be used to make siting decisions and design more resilient systems for nuclear power plants, hospitals, and other crucial infrastructure.

State of the art technology, the most experience, the strongest engineering staff, and relentless customer focus are the reasons that CORYS has become the largest and most successful simulator company in the nuclear simulation industry.
CORYS is contracted to maintain more than 80 nuclear plant full scope simulators in the U.S and France, and has provided more major nuclear simulator upgrades to full scope simulators than all vendors combined.
