Presentation for the Microreactor Program Review on the work package that entitled "Development of a CRAB/MELCOR Framework for Microreactor Safety Analysis"
The Multiphysics Object-Oriented Simulation Environment (MOOSE) [1] is an open-source, parallel finite element framework which provides the foundation formany advanced modeling and simulation tools developed under the Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Nuclear Energy Advanced Modeling and Simulation (NEAMS) program [2] for the analysis of advanced reactors. The MOOSE framework provides the common foundational capability on which many NEAMS codes for reactor analysis are built. The MOOSE framework also includes several systems to assemble unique workflows and coupling amongMOOSE-based applications. In particular, the MultiApp and Transfer systems are widely used to assemble different MOOSE-based or MOOSE- wrapped physics applications together to perform loosely or tightly coupled multiphysics simulations. The National Reactor Innovation Center’s (NRIC’s) Virtual Test Bed (VTB) [3] hosts publicly available nuclear reactor multiphysics simulation examples which leverage MOOSE’s MultiApp system to meet the modeling needs of different reactor types. The flexibility and robustness of coupling provided by MOOSE permits rapid development of coupled physics models for a wide range of reactor types and events.

This is an updated slide deck for which much of the content has been previously cleared. This slide deck incorporates recent NRIC Virtual Test Bed work with several updates on modeling and simulation of benchmark advanced reactor problems. Note that none of the models or results contained within these slides is proprietary. Many of these have been openly published on the Virtual Test Bed.
