Long before an advanced nuclear reactor begins to generate power or another complicated project comes to life, researchers and engineers model and simulate it to ensure success. Now a collaboration between Idaho National Laboratory and Orem, Utah-based Coreform makes this modeling and simulation faster, less costly and more efficient.
The partnership improves upon an open-source INL platform to make simulations more true to life, benefiting the many projects that leverage it.
