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.

Spent Fuel Pool · Time-to-Boil

Spent Fuel Pool Heat Load Calculator

Total decay-heat load in a spent fuel pool, and how long it would take to boil if cooling stopped. Time-to-boil, boil-off, and fuel-uncovery — the numbers behind a loss-of-cooling event.

Nuclear QA · CGD

Commercial Grade Dedication Tool

Screen a commercial item as a basic component under 10 CFR 21, list its critical characteristics, and get the right acceptance method (1–4) for each — with an exportable CGD record.

Radiation Protection · Dose & Shielding

Gamma Dose-Rate & Shielding Calculator

Point-source dose rate, HVL/TVL shielding, and stay-time for 22 gamma isotopes — medical, industrial, and reactor — with exportable results.

Nuclear QA · NQA-1

NQA-1 Checklist

Work through all 18 ASME NQA-1 Part I requirements, mark your program Compliant / Partial / Gap, capture notes, and export a readiness report — a fast self-assessment before an audit.

Fuel Cycle · Enrichment

Enrichment SWU & Cost Calculator

Compute separative work (SWU), natural-uranium feed, and the full $/kg cost — feed, conversion and SWU — for any enrichment job, with a side-by-side HALEU (19.75%) vs LEU cost-premium comparison.
