It is also an important effort in better understanding and improving the abilities of computer modeling software that is used to predict this sort of degradation. The group states three main objectives, "The mission of the Multiphysics Methods Group is to support the INL goal to advance the U.S. nuclear energy endeavor by:<br />

*Furthering the state of computational nuclear engineering<br />

*Developing a robust technical basis in multidimensional multiphyisics analysis methods<br />
