Today, the Joint Research Centre (JRC) launched a new modelling hub aimed at providing reliable nuclear modelling and data to stakeholders across Europe.
The purpose of this digital modelling is to describe and predict the behaviour nuclear reactors in critical conditions.
The modelling hub aims to help Europe's nuclear industry develop and deploy applications such as Small Modular Reactors, which may contribute to decarbonising the EU's economy, particularly in heavy industry. The hub is also a useful tool for policymakers by acting as a centralised platform to support designing and assessing European policies at the intersection between energy, environment, and economy.
The new hub builds on the JRC's unique strengths, combining advanced computing tools with decades of expertise in nuclear research.
