Reactor and Nuclear Fuel Cycle Analysis Group
Supporting efficiency and reliability in the nuclear fuel cycle for today’s commercial fleet and tomorrow’s advanced systems.
Reactor and fuel cycle analysis is central to continuing the safe and efficient use of nuclear technologies. As new fuels and reactor concepts move toward deployment, modeling and simulations are crucial to design and logistics decisions, safety assessments, and policy guidance.
ORNL’s Reactor and Nuclear Fuel Cycle Analysis (RNFCA) group is a computational leader in nuclear reactor and fuel cycle modeling. Using state-of-the-art modeling and simulation tools and methods to analyze, design, optimize, safeguard, and deploy nuclear reactors, the group is focused on supporting current and future nuclear systems.
