Using High Performance Scientific Computing to Accelerate the Discovery and Design of Nuclear Power Applications

Present High Performance Scientific Computing (HPSC) systems are facing strong limitations when full integration from nano-materials to operational system is desired. The HPSC have to be upgraded from the actual designed exa-scale machines probably available after 2015 to even higher computer power and storage capability to yotta-scale in order to simulate systems from nano-scale up to macro scale as a way to greatly improve the safety and performances of the future advanced nuclear power structures. The road from the actual peta-scale systems to yotta-scale computers, which would barely be sufficient for current calculation needs, is difficult and requires new revolutionary ideas in HPSC, and probably the large-scale use of Quantum Supercomputers (QSC) that are now in the development stage.
