Title: An Uncertainty Centric View of Reactor Safety Simulation Speaker: Vincent Mousseau, Idaho National Laboratories Date/Time: Wednesday, November 3, 2010, 9:00 am Mountain Time Location: IPOC/2225 (Sandia NM) Brief Abstract: When one begins a large scale code development effort the hard question is how to allocate resources. This decision is based on customer input and expert opinion. This talk lays out a quantitative process to determine resource allocation. The base assumption of the method is that a code with a smaller uncertainty is "better." With this uncertainty centric view, the focus is on uncertainty quantification to determine the starting point. Then the path forward is based on uncertainty reduction.CSRI POC: Randy Summers, 505-844-6296 |
