Nuclear Engineering Tools

Physics-accurate simulators for the problems an operator actually reasons about — xenon transients, decay heat, reactor kinetics. Each one is benchmarked against the published standards (NRC, DOE, ANS, Keepin), runs entirely in your browser, and logs nothing.

Xe-135 · Transient

Xenon-135 Transient Simulator

Iodine–xenon buildup and burnout after a power change. Watch the post-trip xenon peak build in, the dead time it forces, and whether a restart is precluded.

Decay Heat · ANS-5.1

Decay Heat Calculator

Residual fission-product power after shutdown — the heat that keeps coming once the chain reaction is already gone. The reason a core still needs cooling long after scram.

Point Kinetics · 6-group

Point Kinetics Simulator

Reactor period, startup rate, and the prompt jump from a reactivity insertion. Cross $1.00 and watch the period collapse into prompt criticality.
