Technical Consulting for Nuclear Safety
NovaRei Solutions offers consulting technical support for U.S. fuel cycle licensees, enrichment facilities, defense facilities, and large and small scale deactivation, decommissioning, and remediation projects. Our core capabilities include performing nuclear criticality safety analysis and radiation transport calculations using our configuration controlled computing platforms in support of authoring nuclear criticality safety analyses/evaluations, nuclear radiation shielding analyses, and radiological dose analyses.
These Computing Platforms
Have installed and verified nuclear criticality safety computer programs SCALE 6.1 and MCNP5 per NRC and DOE configuration management standards and requirements. These computing platforms have validated both MCNP5 and SCALE 6.1 and the ENDF/B-VII cross section library for all enrichments of uranium.
