Improving the Ability to Accurately Predict the Operating Behavior of Small Modular Nuclear Reactors
Steven Hamilton is an R&D staff member in the Reactor & Nuclear Systems Division at Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
When scientists discovered the immense power contained in an atom, the United States government provided the laboratories, factories, and funding necessary to harness that power and end World War II.
Nuclear scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory are retooling existing software used to simulate radiation transport in small modular reactors, or SMRs, to run more efficiently on next-generation supercomputers.
