Under the Consortium for the Advanced Simulation of Light Water Reactors (CASL) Program, the Virtual Environment for Reactor Applications (VERA) was developed with the primary focus to model pressurized water reactors (PWRs). Recently, a new project was started to extend the modeling capability in VERA to model boiling water reactors (BWRs). The new project is called “Modeling and Analysis of Exelon BWRs for Eigenvalue and Thermal Limits Predictability,” and it is led by Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and Exelon with participation from Global Nuclear Fuel and three universities: North Carolina State University (NCSU), the University of Michigan, and the University of Illinois.
