Advanced modeling and simulation tools, such as encompassed by the VERA code suite, are characterized by high fidelity, high simulation capabilities for modeling coupled, multiphysics phenomena. Within CASL, a significant effort has been expended, especially in the areas of code and solution verification, to identify areas for code enhancement to further mature the VERA code suite predictive capabilities. More recently, CASL and the NRC have completed a collaboration on the use of advanced modeling and simulation tools in a regulatory environment. Modern VVUQ methods are proving essential to establish the necessary level of credibility for application of predictive computer simulation tools in a regulatory environment. This panel will discuss VVUQ and modeling and simulation in a regulatory environment.
