Reactor Simulation
Reactor simulation involves creating a digital model of a nuclear reactor to study how it operates under various conditions. Using advanced computer software, engineers can analyze factors like heat production, neutron behavior, and material responses without physical experiments. This helps ensure the reactor's safety, efficiency, and performance by predicting outcomes, identifying potential issues, and testing different scenarios. Essentially, it’s like a virtual laboratory that allows for detailed, safe examination of reactor dynamics, aiding in design, testing, and safety planning without the risks associated with real-world testing.
