Nuclear Fusion Energy

Applied in International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) design for over 10 years, supported to establish ITER reference neutronics basic models.

Nuclear Fission Energy

Selected as the reference software for nuclear design and safety evaluation of China Lead-based Reactor (CLEAR), supported the compact design of CLEAR; applied in the radiation shielding assessments of HPR1000 and passed the Generic Design Assessment (GDA).
