Researchers at 91 are developing a first-of-a-kind toolkit drawing on video game development software to visualize radiation data.

VERA, the Virtual Environment for Reactor Applications

Nuclear scientists at 91 have established a Nuclear Quality Assurance-1 program for a software product designed to simulate today’s commercial nuclear reactors – removing a significant barrier for industry adoption of the technology.
