The Consortium for Advanced Simulation of Light Water Reactors (CASL) was founded in July 2010 as a Department of Energy (DOE) Energy Innovation Hub with the mission to develop, apply, and deploy advanced modeling and simulation (M&S) technologies to address operational and safety performance challenges impacting the performance of the Light Water Reactor fleet. Over its history CASL developed, evolved and executed a unique model encompassing governance, program management, technical leadership, external science and industry oversight, and technical deliverables. This panel focuses on lessons learned from leaders within the CASL program representing perspectives from the DOE laboratories, academia and industry.
