A Nuclear Fuel Cycle Simulation Framework
Agent Based Systems Analysis
Hundreds of discrete facilities mine, mill, convert, fabricate, transmute, recycle, and store nuclear material.
Agent Based Systems Analysis
A facility might create material.
Agent Based Systems Analysis
It might request material.
Agent Based Systems Analysis
It might do both.
Agent Based Systems Analysis
Even simple fuel cycles have many independent agents.
A Few of My Favorite Things
- C++, Python, Fortran
- xml, markdown, rst, $\LaTeX$
- Doxygen, sphinx
- CMake, conda, macports
- GoogleTest, nose
- hdf5, sqlite
- cython, boost, Coin
- jekyll, reveal.js, beamer
- matplotlib, paraview
Unique Issues
Export control is serious.
