Poster Lightning Talks: Computational Tools for Reactor Physics Applications -- ANS / Meetings / Mathematics & Computation (M&C) 2021 / Technical Sessions

This will probably be the best set of lightning talks, ever. We will adhere strictly to the schedule. Everyone's mics will sound great. Speakers will start with their conclusions so you may have everything you need in the first minute! The chat will be overflowing with questions and answers. You may think this sounds stressful, but we will not panic and get overwhelmed. We'll enjoy learning about so many colleagues activities in such a short amount of time (the efficiency!) and revel in the technical diversity that is computational tools for reactor physics applications.
