Release of a High Temperature Engineering Test Reactor (HTTR) Steady-State Multiphysics Model to the Virtual Test Bed
The National Reactor Innovation Center (NRIC) accelerates the demonstration and deployment of advanced nuclear energy through inspiring stakeholders and the public, empowering innovators, and delivering successful outcomes. The Virtual Test Bed (VTB) supports this mission by providing an open-source repository of advanced test reactor models for industry, academia, and the public to utilize. During my time at Idaho National Laboratory (INL), I: • Verified the input files of the High Temperature Engineering Test Reactor • Generated computational results • Created user documentation for the HTTR • Uploaded a steady-state HTTR model to the Virtual Test Bed • Authored a conference publication on the model
