Nucleonica: Web-based Software Tools for Simulations and Analysis

The authors present a description of a new web-based software portal for simulation and analysis for a wide range of commonly encountered nuclear science applications. Advantages of a web-based approach include availability wherever there is internet access, intuitive user-friendly interface, remote access to high-power computing resources, and continual maintenance, improvement, and addition of tools and techniques common to the nuclear science industry. A description of the nuclear data resources, applications, and tools available at the Nucleonica site is given. The role of Nucleonica in education, training and knowledge management in the nuclear sciences is discussed.JRC.E.6-Actinide researc
