The Secretary shall carry out a program to enhance the capabilities of the United States to develop new reactor technologies and related systems technologies through high-performance computation modeling and simulation techniques (referred to in this subsection as the program ). In carrying out the program, the Secretary shall coordinate with relevant Federal agencies through the National Strategic Computing Initiative established by Executive Order 13702 (80 Fed. Reg. 46177) (July 29, 2015).
In carrying out the program, the Secretary shall take into consideration the following objectives: Using expertise from the private sector, institutions of higher education, and National Laboratories to develop computational software and capabilities that prospective users may access to accelerate research and development of advanced fission reactor systems, nuclear fusion 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 research infrastructure of the Department by coordinating with the Advanced Scientific Computing Research program of 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, including private companies engaged in nuclear energy technology development. The Secretary shall consider support for additional research activities to maximize the utility of the research facilities of the Department, including research— on physical processes to simulate degradation of materials and behavior of fuel forms; and for validation of computational tools.
