A RELAP5-3D Consortium has been formed, comprised of three key entities that have led the development of RELAP5 for decades, namely Idaho National Laboratory, Naval Nuclear Laboratories, and Information Systems Laboratories. By combining the resources of the three leading laboratories, many improvements can be made in the code, the teams, the collaboration, and the overall product. The consortium eliminates competition for new graduating scientist and engineers, combines and leverages the skills, experience, and talents of the three separate teams, creates new synergies, and develops new opportunities. Ultimately, this will extend the productive lifetime of RELAP5-3D to serve the nuclear industry.
