Nuclear Fuel Cycle Simulation System
The Nuclear Fuel Cycle Simulation System (NFCSS), formerly known as VISTA, is a scenario-based
computer model for the estimation of fuel cycle material, service requirements and actinide arisings.
The NFCSS is a computer simulation system which uses simplified approaches to calculate the fuel
cycle requirements.
The NFCSS web site provides a detailed description of the simulation system, an example scenario with results, and a simple calculation tool
which can be used to calculate annual material flow in a selected nuclear fuel cycle option.
