Definition

Nuclear systems simulation is a multidisciplinary research field and computational methodology focused on modeling the complex physical, chemical, and operational processes inherent in nuclear systems, such as reactors, fuel cycles, and plant operations. It employs sophisticated algorithms and computational resources to replicate system behavior for purposes including design, analysis, safety assessment, optimization, training, and prediction, serving as a critical tool for advancing nuclear technology, addressing computational limitations, and bridging expertise gaps in a complex field.
