Section 957 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 ( 42 U.S.C. 16277 ) is amended to read as follows: The Secretary shall carry out a program to enhance the Nation’s capabilities to develop new reactor technologies through high-performance computation modeling and simulation techniques. This program shall coordinate with relevant Federal agencies through the National Strategic Computing Initiative created under Executive Order No. 13702 (July 29, 2015) while taking into account the following objectives:
Utilizing expertise from the private sector, universities, and National Laboratories to develop computational software and capabilities that prospective users may access to accelerate research and development of advanced nuclear reactor systems, and reactor systems for space exploration. Developing computational tools to simulate and predict nuclear phenomena that may be validated through physical experimentation. Increasing the utility of the Department’s research infrastructure by coordinating with the Advanced Scientific Computing Research program within the Office of Science.
Leveraging experience from the Energy Innovation Hub for Modeling and Simulation. Ensuring that new experimental and computational tools are accessible to relevant research communities. The Secretary shall consider support for additional research activities to maximize the utility of its research facilities, including physical processes to simulate degradation of materials and behavior of fuel forms and for validation of computational tools. .
