Nuclear reactor core simulation involves the complex interaction of heat generation and removal from massive, complex heterogeneous systems with tightly coupled feedback between several physics disciplines during nominal and transient conditions. The Collaboration for Advanced Nuclear Simulation (CANS) brings together multiple national laboratories and universities for the common goal of developing a high-fidelity, multi-physics, multi-scale simulation suite for predictive modeling of nuclear fission energy systems. Expertise and resources from each institution are being leveraged to utilize the optimal tools from the Advanced Simulation Computing (ASC), Scientific Discovery through Advanced Computing (SciDAC), and the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Nuclear Energy (DOE/NE) programs.
