The Virtual Test Bed (VTB) was established to support the deployment of advanced reactors by facilitating the use of state-of-the-art modeling and simulation capabilities. These tools are able to solve previously prohibitive challenge problems in greater levels of fidelity and in a multi-physics framework. A VTB repository was recently set up to host models for a wide variety of reactor types and using a range of NEAMS-developed software. Table I summarizes the different capabilities already available in the repository and up-and-coming near/long term ones. The repository currently hosts models for a wide variety of reactor types, including High-Temperature Gas Cooled Reactors (HTGR), Sodium Fast Reactors (SFR), Fluoride salt cooled High-temperature Reactors (FHR), Molten Salt Reactors (MSR), and Heat-Pipe Microreactors (HP-MR). It should be noted that work is ongoing for all of the models and each example problem is at a different state of maturity.
