(1) The evolution from single to coupled physics simulations with increased computational power
(2) Increasing computation power of supercomputers to 1.4 exaflops with the Exascale Computing Project
(3) Natural circulation and other new design features increases the complexity of reactor simulations
(4) More partnerships between industry and National Laboratories are needed to produce more simulated data and to push the nuclear industry forward
