An Overview of U.S. Department of Energy’s Nuclear Energy Advanced Modeling and Simulation program   YANG Won Sik    Department of Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences, University of Michigan, 2355 Bonisteel Blvd., Ann Arbor, MI 48109, U.S.A. (wonyang@umich.edu) Abstract: Under the U.S. Department of Energy’s Nuclear Energy Advanced Modeling andSimulation (NEAMS) program, advanced simulation tools are being developed using modern computational techniques and innovative methods to support design of advanced nuclear reactor concepts. The NEAMS program is organized along three modular production lines: fuels, reactors, and integration production lines. The fuels production line is focused on developing predictive computational tools for fuel performance design and analysis. The reactors production line is developing multi-physics, multi-scale tools that can support a broad spectrum of modeling and simulation needs of advanced reactor concepts. The focus of the integral production line is to integrate these fuels and reactors simulation tools in an easy-to-use common analysis environment that enables the end users to apply these high-fidelity simulations to inform the conventional lower-order models for the design, analysis, and licensing of advanced nuclear systems. This lecture note presents an overview of the NEAMS program and tools, focused on the RPL tools. Keyword: nuclear energy; modeling and simulation; NEAMS; SHARP
