Griffin
Category: Other
Developers: Idaho National Laboratory; Argonne National Laboratory
Product Description:The Griffin reactor physics tool for Multiphysics modeling and simulation makes advanced nuclear reactor design cheaper and safer by predicting how different reactor designs, fuels and materials will perform in real life. Industry has developed dozens of reactor designs that could power remote communities, mining operations, military bases and data centers. Others could provide high-temperature heat and electricity for communities and industry. Before these reactors become a reality, researchers, industry and regulators need to test safety and performance without building expensive prototypes. Griffin is a reactor physics tool for multiphysics modeling and simulation that makes advanced nuclear reactor design cheaper and safer by predicting how different reactor designs, fuels and materials will perform in real life. Where some modeling tools can simulate the basic functions of a reactor, Griffin provides the underlying physics that govern countless real-life interactions in the extreme environment of a reactor core. Griffin has been used to analyze the designs of pebble-bed reactors, prismatic reactors, molten-salt reactors, fast reactors, microreactors and several experimental facilities.
