A NE ModSim Accomplishment
by Larzelere, Alex 06 Apr '12

06 Apr '12

Everyone, Yesterday was a very good day for us and you probably did not even realize it. You may not know this, but for the last two years NE modeling and simulation has been co-funding a study by the National Research Council's Board on Mathematical Sciences and their Applications to conduct a study on V&V, UQ. Yesterday was the release symposium for the report from that study. The study itself will be available on the web next week. I have not read the entire report, but a quick look at the pre-publication version and listening to the talks yesterday - I have a strong suspicion that this report will become a seminal event in the world of advanced modeling and simulation. The good news is that I did not find anything in conflict with what we are currently doing. In fact it only reinforces our approach and provides some valuable ideas on where we might go. So - while we cannot say we were directly involved in writing the report (at least I wasn't) - we can bask in the glow of being part of what enabled it to happen. Yesterday was a good and important day for NE modeling and simulation - and you may not have even known. Regards, Alex Sent from my BlackBerry, which you can call @ 202 355-3900

FW: Code Survey
by Larzelere, Alex 26 Mar '12

Everyone, Here is the starting point that I provided to Maria for her task. Please keep in mind that this is quite dated and was never really completed and therefore probably contains lots of errors. Regards, Alex From: Larzelere, Alex Sent: Tuesday, January 31, 2012 2:19 PM To: Cook, Trevor; Versluis, Rob; Peltz, James; Funk, Dan; Belvin, Anthony (CONTR) Subject: Code Survey Trevor, et al, Attached is the nuclear energy application code survey that I worked on back in 2006 or 2005. This might provide a good starting point for what might be done by Maria S. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments. Regards, Alex ________________________________________________ Alex R.

FW: Observations from The Royal Society Meeting
by Larzelere, Alex 24 Mar '12

24 Mar '12

Everyone, In case you are interested, here are my observations from my Royal Society meeting. As you will see by the grin on my face -- it was an amazingly cool experience! Have a great weekend. Regards, Alex -----Original Message----- From: Larzelere, Alex Sent: Saturday, March 24, 2012 3:56 PM To: Lyons, Peter; Johnson, Shane; Kelly, John E (NE); Regalbuto, Monica; Miotla, Dennis Cc: Cook, Trevor; Golub, Sal; Reis, Victor (S4); Herczeg, John Subject: Observations from The Royal Society Meeting Pete, et al, Attached for your information is quick paper with my observations from the Royal Society meeting that I attended in London on March 12th and 13th. The meeting was entitled "Nuclear Energy in the 21st Century." As you will see, the meeting was quite interesting and provided a nice contrast between nuclear energy in the 20th century and nuclear energy in the 21st century. I believe all of the speakers made the point that there were significant changes and they needed to be considered as we think about the future. The good news is that I believe that many of the speakers consider these changes as being "for the good" and serve to make the future of nuclear energy brighter. So -- when you get the opportunity please look over my notes and let me know if you have any questions or comments. Also, in case you are interested, attached are the slides that I presented at the meeting (use the slide show viewing mode to see the animations). Regards, Alex PS: The Royal Society kindly paid for my travel expenses and I got the appropriate clearance from GC to accept it.
