Professor Forget is establishing a computational reactor physics group since his arrival in January 2008. He and a graduate student are currently working on the development of a Monte Carlo fuel cycle code that will support the MITR conversion. This code enables fuel shuffling and fuel management capabilities to MCNP/MCODE and will be extended to other reactor types beyond the MITR reactor. He is also looking to establish new methodologies that will increase the fidelity of current simulations of nuclear reactors by improving and transforming current modeling and simulation approach.
