Dear NukeHub Community,
We’re thrilled to announce major updates to NukeLab, making cloud-based nuclear simulations more powerful than ever!
What’s New?
New Software Additions:
- KDSource – Assists Monte Carlo beams and shielding calculations, improving tally results in complex problems. It enables modeling of large systems (e.g., investigation reactor guides hall) through spatial or temporal coupling of simulations across different transport codes, while also implementing variance reduction techniques.
- Paramak – A Python package for the rapid generation of 3D CAD models and neutronics models for fusion reactors. Ideal for designing and optimizing complex fusion geometries.
- VMEC++ – Stellarator equilibrium code for fusion plasma simulations.
- njoy2016 – Advanced nuclear data processing for reactor physics and radiation transport calculations.
Latest Software Versions
We’ve updated all existing tools to their latest stable releases, ensuring better performance, accuracy, and compatibility with modern workflows.
We are now using the scikit-build-core branch of PyNE, offering better Python compatibility while retaining all essential nuclear engineering features.
Enhanced Integration with NukeIDE
- Users can now leverage NukeIDE directly within NukeLab, combining the power of an advanced IDE with cloud-based simulations.
- Future updates will bring meshing and geometry processing features, making it easier to set up complex nuclear models.
Why This Matters?
More tools = More flexibility for nuclear research
Cloud-based access = Work from anywhere, anytime
Continuous updates = Stay ahead in nuclear simulations
