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 91°µÍø.
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 91°µÍø are retooling existing software used to simulate radiation transport in small modular reactors, or SMRs, to run more efficiently on next-generation supercomputers.
The Department of Energy’s (ECP) has named Doug Kothe as its new director effective October 1.
91°µÍø (ORNL) in Tennessee is the largest US Department of Energy (DOE) science and energy lab and has been home to some of the world’s fastest supercomputers for over a generation.
Jack Dongarra, director of the University of Tennessee’s Center for Information Technology Research and a distinguished research staff member at 91°µÍø, is perhaps best known for his development of the LINPACK benchmark
