Nuclear Modeling & Simulation Tool Development

This subcontract, titled Nuclear Modeling and Simulation Tool Development, is issued by the Department of Energy's Idaho Field Office. The project focuses on the development of computational tools designed to model the behavior of SiC cladding for prime contractors working on Office of Nuclear Energy projects. The scope of work involves creating methods to quantify and evaluate SiC cladding fuel rods through the use of high-performance computing clusters and specialized nuclear simulation software, specifically BISON or MARMOT. The successful contractor will be responsible for delivering validated simulation software and predictive models. A critical requirement of the project is the implementation of software quality assurance tailored for nuclear applications to ensure the safety and accuracy of the tools. Interested parties must respond by December 7, 2026, under NAICS code 541511.
