From The Engineer:
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute is leading a $3m research partnership funded by the US Department of Energy to create highly detailed computer models of a new type of nuclear reactor.
These models could play a key role for the future development of the new reactors, which meet stringent safety and nonproliferation criteria, can burn long-lived and highly radioactive materials, and can operate over a long time without using new fuel.
To undertake such a task, researchers will use both Rensselaer's Computational Center for Nanotechnology Innovations, or CCNI - the world's seventh most powerful supercomputer - and Brookhaven National Laboratory's New York Blue - the world's fifth most powerful supercomputer.
