NuCoMP Facilities and Resources

The Nuclear Computing and Multi-Physics (NuCoMP) Research Group is based in the Jonsson Engineering Center at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and maintains dedicated high-performance computing clusters to support large-scale reactor physics, thermal–hydraulics, and multi-physics simulations. In addition to these in-house resources, NuCoMP leverages RPI’s broader campus computing infrastructure for advanced modeling and analysis.

NuCoMP members are also actively involved in experiments and operations at RPI’s Walthousen Reactor Criticial Facility (RCF), a zero-power research reactor. With Prof. Ji serving as the RCF Facility Director, the group uniquely integrates reactor experiments with high-fidelity simulation and multi-physics studies, enabling tightly coupled computational–experimental studies that support reactor design, safety, and validation research.
