FOREWORD SPECIAL ISSUE ON THE SCALE NUCLEAR ANALYSIS CODE SYSTEM

摘要

This special issue of Nuclear Technology features invited, peer-reviewed articles on the Standardized Computer Analyses for Licensing Evaluation (SCALE) software package, which is used worldwide for nuclear design and safety analyses. Computational analyses are essential to the effective design, safety, and licensing of nuclear facilities and materials, and the cost and limited availability of experimental facilities have led to increased reliance on analyses. The accuracy, reliability, usability, and availability of computational analysis tools, such as SCALE, that are used to perform these analyses are vital to the continued safe and effective use of nuclear technology.
