Breaking ground on a new approach to construction
The drive to Kairos Power’s reactor demonstration site in Oak Ridge, Tenn., is not only scenic—it’s historic. Nearly 85 years ago, roughly 30,000 construction workers transformed orchards and farmland into a key Manhattan Project site. Depending on your route, you may pass by one of the three gatehouses that were once military checkpoints controlling access to Atomic Energy Commission production facilities.

Due to the expensive software of full scope simulator and extensive work to model and debug, it spends a great deal manufacturing the full scope simulator. Meanwhile, the software of simulator used at home is mostly developed by other companies while domestic research about simulator focuses on the application of software. However, the core of the full scope simulator is software. In the paper, the full scope simulator platform and the core calculation model are developed with the parallel distributed simulation design, modularized structure, and the C-S framework. The nuclear power plant system program, physical computation program and and severe accident simulation used in simulation are modified based on these of the COSINE program package. The other calculation programs are designed, developed and verified independently. Finally, a fully autonomous simulation simulator, cosMuse is built.
