Consortium for the Advanced Simulation of Light Water Reactors
Consortium for the Advanced Simulation of Light Water Reactors (CASL) is an Energy Innovation Hub〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://energy.gov/science-innovation/innovation/hubs )〕 sponsored by United States Department of Energy (DOE) and based at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). CASL combines fundamental research and technology development through an integrated partnership of government, academia, and industry that extends across the nuclear energy enterprise. The goal of CASL is to develop advanced computational models of light water reactors (LWRs) that can be used by utilities, fuel vendors, universities, and national laboratories to help improve the performance of existing and future nuclear reactors.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://energy.gov/articles/five-years-building-next-generation-reactors-0 )〕
CASL was created in May 2010, and was the first energy innovation hub to be awarded.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.id.doe.gov/NEWS/PressReleases/PR100601.htm )〕
== Mission ==
The (CASL mission ) is to develop advanced modeling and simulation (M&S) tools to improve tools available to nuclear industry in power plant design/operation/assessment; but, also designed to leverage industry and leadership-class supercomputers, such as ORNL's Titan, that will help drive increase the compute capability of industrial cluster computers used in nuclear industry. CASL combines existing M&S capabilities and with new advanced capabilities to create a usable environment that advances the industry user's opportunities towards predictive simulation of light water reactors (LWRs). This environment, designated the Virtual Environment for Reactor Applications (VERA), integrates components based on science-based models, state-of-the-art numerical methods, modern computational science and engineering practices, and rigorous verification and validation against data from operating pressurized water reactors (PWRs), single-effect experiments, and integral tests. The CASL M&S technology is configured for efficient execution on today’s leadership-class computers, advanced architecture platforms now under development, and workhorse engineering workstation clusters.
Using supercomputers to create “virtual” reactor models can further advance the safety and performance of existing and future nuclear reactors. The consortium's research and development (R&D) supports continuing improvement of reactor safety by giving engineers and scientists (M&S) tools that can be used to investigate the causes of operational issues that affect nuclear reactors. Use M&S tools can lead to reduced capital and operating costs per unit of energy produced by nuclear reactors and reductions in the amount of nuclear waste created by reactor operations. Improved understanding of the physical processes that can cause operational issues can also allow reactors to be built and operated more efficiently and at lower cost. Eventually the virtual models could also help nuclear engineers develop improved designs for next-generation reactors.
