Work from the multi-lab team that
Robert leads for the Consortium for Advanced Simulation of Light Water Reactors (CASL) Materials Performance Optimization Focus Area was highlighted during a visit by Secretary Chu to Oak Ridge National Laboratory in February. Chu was touring the Nuclear Modeling and Simulation Energy Innovation Hub.
A poster, "Materials Performance Optimization: Resolving Nuclear Fuel Performance Challenge," summarized the fuel rod modeling and simulation capabilities being developed by the multi-lab team and was on display during the visit.
