SCALE Training
Upcoming Training Courses
Training is provided by developers and expert users from the ORNL team. Courses provide a review of theory, description of capabilities and limitations of the software, and hands-on experience running problems of varying levels of complexity.
All attendees for the SCALE training courses must be licensed users of SCALE 6.3.1 which is available from ORNL/RSICC and the RIST/NUCIS in Japan.
Please request the software at least two months prior to the start of the training course.
