Division Spotlight
Accelerator Applications
The division was organized to promote the advancement of knowledge of the use of particle accelerator technologies for nuclear and other applications. It focuses on production of neutrons and other particles, utilization of these particles for scientific or industrial purposes, such as the production or destruction of radionuclides significant to energy, medicine, defense or other endeavors, as well as imaging and diagnostics.

Taking shape: Fusion energy ecosystems built with public-private partnerships
It’s possible to describe fusion in simple terms: heat and squeeze small atoms to get abundant clean energy. But there’s nothing simple about getting fusion ready for the grid.
Private developers, national lab and university researchers, suppliers, and end users working toward that goal are developing a range of complex technologies to reach fusion temperatures and pressures, confounded by science and technology gaps linked to plasma behavior; materials, diagnostics, and electronics for extreme environments; fuel cycle sustainability; and economics.
The Consortium for Advanced Simulation of Light Water Reactors Virtual Meeting
Technical Session|Panel|Sponsored by Advanced Modeling Applications
Tuesday, November 17, 2020|12:00–2:10PM EST
Session Chair:
David Kropaczek (ORNL)
Alternate Chair:
Lucas Kyriazidis (NRC)
Session Organizer:
Scott P. Palmtag (NC State Univ.)
Staff Producer:
Joseph Coale (NC State Univ.)
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. In 2018, a collaboration between DOE and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) was initiated to evaluate the use of high-fidelity modeling and simulation tools in the regulatory environment. The primary objective of the program plan was the use of existing capabilities of CASL and the VERA code suite to demonstrate the potential benefits that advanced modeling and simulation can have in the NRC’s regulatory framework. This panel provides a detailed discussion of the DOE and NRC collaboration activities.
