Commercial nuclear innovation "new space" age
In early 2006, a start-up company launched a small rocket from a tiny island in the Pacific. It exploded, showering the island with debris. A year later, a second launch attempt sent a rocket to space but failed to make orbit, burning up in the atmosphere. Another year brought a third attempt—and a third failure. The following month, in September 2008, the company used the last of its funds to launch a fourth rocket. It reached orbit, making history as the first privately funded liquid-fueled rocket to do so.

With increased high-performance computing (HPC) capabilities, multiphysics codes for reactor applications can be powerful in simulating complex reactor behavior for advanced reactors and the current fleet of light water reactors. There are many advantages to simulating reactor behavior with multiphysics codes, and they can aid in the design and licensing of reactor concepts. However, there are challenges to coupling codes simulating various physical phenomena including working with different time scales, meshes, units etc. which will be discussed. In addition, the panel discussions will include additional issues such as verification and validation of multiphysics codes and software usability by analysts who are not subject matter experts in all physical phenomena being simulated.
