## Description

The Consortium for Advanced Simulation of Light Water Reactors (CASL) is a pioneering Energy Innovation Hub established by the U.S. Department of Energy in 2010. Based at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, CASL unites government, academic, and industrial partners to advance nuclear energy technology through groundbreaking research and development. With a mission to enhance efficiency and safety in nuclear power generation, CASL focuses on comprehensive modeling and simulation to improve the operational performance of existing reactors and support the development of next-generation systems.

CASL's significant achievements include the creation of the Virtual Environment for Reactor Applications (VERA), launched in 2020, which is instrumental in predicting reactor performance and optimizing fuel usage. The hub's innovations help nuclear plants remain reliable and cost-effective while striving to increase carbon-free energy production, which accounts for over 55% of the U.S. energy supply. By enhancing reactor flexibility, safety, and longevity, CASL aims to transform the landscape of nuclear power in response to evolving energy demands.
