Static and dynamic modeling of steam integration for a NuScale small modular reactor and pulp and paper mill coupling for carbon-neutral manufacturing
Small modular reactors (SMRs) are reactor designs producing less than 300 MWe and are generally planned for deployment as multimodule nuclear power plants. The possibility of factory-manufactured, flexibly sized plants expands the opportunities for nuclear power to different communities and industries, including manufacturing plants that currently utilize fossil fuels to produce both steam and electricity.

Desalination Multi-Effect Evaporator Models in Support of Integrated Energy Systems
The purpose of this work is to contribute to the Integrated Energy Systems (IES) modeling efforts from the Department of Energy with Idaho National Laboratory. The DOE is working on a plug-and-play set of models in an open-source repository called HYBRID that can be used to improve IES modeling capabilities.
