The Westinghouse-CASL project was among seven award winners announced at the International Supercomputing Conference in Germany on 26\u00a0June. Awards were also given to projects using HPC in fields including protein structure prediction, plasma behaviour modelling, hydroelectric turbine engineering, aerospace and automotive industry applications.<\/p>\n<p>The Westinghouse-CASL team received the award for core physics simulations of Westinghouse\u2019s AP1000\u00a0reactor using CASL\u2019s Virtual Environment for Reactor Applications (VERA) to produce 3D, high-fidelity power distributions representing the conditions expected during startup. Using up to 240,000\u00a0computational units in parallel, the results included as many as 1\u00a0trillion particle histories per simulation to reduce statistical errors. The study\u2019s findings will help to improve understanding of core conditions, helping to ensure a safe reactor startup.<\/p>\n<p>Titan, housed at the US Department of Energy\u2019s (DoE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), uses a Cray XK7\u00a0system and was installed in 2012. The AP1000\u00a0simulation studies used the Exnihilo code suite developed by ORNL, including the Denovo application which takes advantage of Titan\u2019s NVIDIA graphics processing accelerators and a new stochastic transport module, Shift, which has been developed with the support of CASL\u2019s radiation transport methods team.<\/p>\n<p>CASL radiation transport methods deputy leader Tom Evans described real-world significance of the application of DOE technology for industry users. \u201cThis isn\u2019t a hypothetical problem we\u2019re simulating. This is a real case that needed to be solved\u201d, he explained. Westinghouse is currently building eight AP1000s in China and the USA, with the first one expected to start up later this year.<\/p>\n<p>CASL was set up in 2010\u00a0to provide advanced modelling and simulation solutions for commercial nuclear reactors and is led by ORNL. Westinghouse is one of CASL\u2019s ten core partners.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A team from Westinghouse and the Consortium for Advanced Simulation of Light-Water Reactors (CASL) has been recognised for its work on simulation of conditions in nuclear reactor cores using Titan, the USA\u2019s most powerful supercomputer.
