Technical Session|Panel|Modeling and Simulation for Fusion Neutronics
Tuesday, April 29, 2025|8:00–9:40AM MDT|Molly Brown
Session Chair:
Helen M. Brooks
Alternate Chair:
Paul K. Romano
With the growth of the private fusion industry and a shift in R&D programs toward the engineering aspects of fusion energy systems, the study of neutronics is likely to play an increasingly important role in the overall design of fusion systems. The geometric complexity, deep shielding type problems, and needs for multiphysics integration and uncertainty quantification in fusion systems pose significant methodological challenges to be addressed by the fusion neutronics community. This panel brings together experts from industry, academia, and government laboratories to discuss the current state of fusion neutronics modeling and where challenges lay ahead.
