Plant-Specific Fluence Evaluations
Licensing Applications (LRA & SLRA)
60 years? How about 80? 100 years!? Regardless of the operating license application you are preparing, we specialize in plant-specific neutron fluence evaluations that support all utility licensing efforts. Our 3-D deterministic neutron transport software package is widely recognized as the industry standard. Don't believe it? Give us a call or click below to learn more!

Fuel Loading Changes
During operation, the effects on materials in the reactor due to the environment, applied stresses, and overall exposure to radiation damage may prove detrimental to structures, components or welds within the reactor. When material flaws, cracks, or other aging effects are identified through proper inspection, the neutron fluence (radiati
During operation, the effects on materials in the reactor due to the environment, applied stresses, and overall exposure to radiation damage may prove detrimental to structures, components or welds within the reactor. When material flaws, cracks, or other aging effects are identified through proper inspection, the neutron fluence (radiation damage) can contribute to material degradation.

Fuel Loading Changes
So, you finally decided to change fuel designs to put in the core, huh? Maybe you are looking for better fuel efficiency, planning on a power uprate, or your fuel vendor had a great sales pitch. Whatever the reason, just remember than any change to your fuel source and/or change in your fuel loading strategy will have a direct impact on y
So, you finally decided to change fuel designs to put in the core, huh? Maybe you are looking for better fuel efficiency, planning on a power uprate, or your fuel vendor had a great sales pitch. Whatever the reason, just remember than any change to your fuel source and/or change in your fuel loading strategy will have a direct impact on your neutron fluence. NRC Regulatory Guide 1.190, Position 1.2: Core Neutron Source, provides additional guidance. TransWare is always here to help so be sure to click below to learn more!

Cycle Length Changes
Are you that plant? That plant that is constantly having to adapt to the local power needs and environmental conditions that make it impossible to just be normal? Not to worry. TransWare can discretely account for all fluctuations in operating conditions using your very own data. Plants that struggle to operate under consistent conditions
Are you that plant? That plant that is constantly having to adapt to the local power needs and environmental conditions that make it impossible to just be normal? Not to worry. TransWare can discretely account for all fluctuations in operating conditions using your very own data. Plants that struggle to operate under consistent conditions fall victim to higher uncertainties in neutron fluence projections. Click below to learn more about how TransWare can help!
Cycle Length Changes
Cycle Length Changes
You're right. You don't need that many outages. Too much down time. But it comes at a cost. Neutron fluence is a product of plant operation, and if you are planning on extending your operating cycle lengths, it would be a good idea to know what that will do to your neutron fluence.

Fluence Maintenance Programs
Neutron fluence can be scary. It can be even more scary if you go years without truly knowing how your reactor components are faring in an extreme environment. Neutron fluence projections can make you feel good, but knowing whether the projections have held up over a cycle feels even better. Take advantage of TransWare's Fluence Maintenan
