Developers, officials talk advanced reactor outlook with NRC
The public had a rare opportunity Tuesday morning when the Nuclear Regulatory Commission gathered leaders from the Department of Energy, the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission, TerraPower, Radiant, Westinghouse, and X-energy to share updates on their respective high-profile new nuclear projects and initiatives.
During the meeting, titled “Advanced Reactor Landscape: Current Status and Moving Forward,” federal and industry officials presented on their respective endeavors, providing new updates, refreshers on previously announced information, and takeaways from their experiences.
We develop software for accurately, efficiently, and easily predicting radiation fields. Our Attila® and Attila4MCTM products are used worldwide for shielding, radiological protection, and a myriad of other scenarios where radiation effects play an important role in product or system performance, safety, or reliability. Our mission focuses around delivering state-of-the-art software leveraging both Monte Carlo and deterministic methods, and combining with robust CAD integration, to help organizations efficiently integrate radiation transport simulations into their design cycle.
