Monte Carlo code simulates how subatomic particles move and interact with matter, guiding safer, more efficient and economical nuclear reactor designs and supporting a resurgence of fusion research.
The study combines advanced simulations with real-world testing to predict how feedwater heater tubes, which preheat water before it enters a nuclear reactor, break down over time.
American Nuclear Society’s magazine again singles out young researchers from Argonne National Laboratory for contributions to the field of nuclear energy.
