NEAMS Program Elements

1. Integrated Performance and Safety Codes- End-to-end codes to understand the detailed integrated performance of new nuclear systems including:
   • Nuclear fuels
   • Reactor core and safety
   • Separations and safeguards
   • Waste forms and near field repositories
2. Fundamental Methods and Model- Smaller-length scale material modeling work, and Atomistic-to-Continuum multi-scale simulation
   • Provide understanding and improved properties and models for integrated codes
   • Identifies and drives small scale experimentation needed to generate data for physical and engineering models
3. Verification, Validation and Uncertainty Quantification
   • Creates confidence that simulation results are a reflection of nature
   • Quantifies uncertainties inherent in modeling and simulation
   • Serves as principal interface with NRC
   • Captures and preserves existing experimental data and provides interface with experimental program to obtain needed new data
4. Capability Transfer
   • Turns scientific codes into engineering tools to be used by industry
   • Improves the usability of HPC codes and systems
5. Enabling Computational Technologies
   • Ensures that the enabling technologies are available to Program Elements 1-4
