High Performance Computing (HPC) is instrumental for conducting complex simulations and analyses essential for reactor design, safety assessment, and nuclear material studies. HPC enables researchers to model reactor behavior under various conditions, optimizing designs and enhancing safety measures. Additionally, HPC facilitates detailed analyses of nuclear materials' properties and behavior, aiding in fuel cycle management and waste disposal strategies. By leveraging the computational power of HPC, nuclear engineers can address challenges, improve reactor performance, and ensure the continued safety and reliability of nuclear energy systems. Join our panelists from national labs and universities to discover how supercomputers have accelerated their research and led to important insights about the world around us!
