Virtual Test Bed
Welcome to the Virtual Test Bed (VTB) repository!
Please register at this link.
This repository is a National Reactor Innovation Center (NRIC) initiative aiming to facilitate the use of advanced modeling & simulation (M&S) tools developed by the Department of Energy NEAMS program. Following the passage of the Nuclear Energy Innovation Capabilities Act, NRIC was created for accelerating the deployment of these novel reactor concepts. This will be achieved by providing both physical and virtual spaces for building and testing various components, systems, and complete pilot plants. The VTB represents the virtual arm in collaboration with DOE’s NEAMS program.
The VTB repository hosts a wide variety of example challenge problems based on advanced reactor designs. This website contains the background and documentation for each use case. Click on a reactor type below to find out more. To access the corresponding inputs and supporting file, refer to the repository.
Users will need to request access to the controlled NEAMS software from the Nuclear Computational Resource Center. For additional information on the VTB, please reach out to Dr. Charlot at lise.charlot@inl.gov.
