The U.S. Million Person Study of Low-Dose-Rate Health Effects
There is a critical knowledge gap regarding the health consequences of exposure to radiation received gradually over time. While there is a plethora of studies on the risks of adverse outcomes from both acute and high-dose exposures, including the landmark study of atomic bomb survivors, these are not characteristic of the chronic exposure to low-dose radiation encountered in occupational and public settings. In addition, smaller cohorts have limited numbers leading to reduced statistical power.

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!
