NRC cooperating with Coast Guard, Marine Minerals Administration
Within the past month, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has signed memorandums of understanding to increase its cooperation with two U.S. maritime organizations. In late June, the NRC signed an MOU with the U.S. Coast Guard to strengthen coordination on civilian maritime nuclear projects, including floating nuclear power plants and civilian nuclear propulsion. On July 21, the NRC signed an MOU with the newly formed Marine Minerals Administration (MMA) to improve cooperation regarding potential future nuclear projects on the Outer Continental Shelf.

This is an introduction to the SCALE modeling and simulation suite, with brief demos presented by SCALE developers. SCALE, with its user-friendly, well-validated computational capabilities spanning a large breath of nuclear science and engineering applications, is an excellent learning and research toolset for students. https://www.ornl.gov/scale
This brief intro to SCALE will include three illustrative demos: (1) 3D modeling with KENO of a nuclear criticality benchmark experiment; (2) straightforward modeling with Polaris of neutron transport and nuclear transmutations in a fuel assembly during reactor irradiation; (2) analysis with ORIGEN and MAVRIC of neutron activation in a shielding benchmark experiment.
Hosted by the SCALE Team, Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL).
