Bring disciplines together
Connect reactor physics with thermal, structural and plant-level models in a shared design workflow.
The KSLP platformConnected physics.
Connected physics.
Smarter engineering.
Our aim is to bring nuclear modelling, multiphysics simulation and design exploration into one engineering environment.
Our platform visionOne workflow.
One workflow.
A wider perspective.
Our aim is to make it easier to move between a reactor concept, its interacting systems and the design choices that shape performance.

Our roadmapFrom a design concept
From a design concept
to a virtual plant.
Our goal is to connect the full engineering journey. Four priorities guide the platform we are building.
01Connected simulationBring the tools together
Bring fusion and fission modelling into a shared workspace, with connected workflows for experiments and comparisons.
Aim / One engineering workspace02Coupled engineeringConnect the physical systems
Link reactor behaviour with cooling, materials and shielding to explore the interaction between components.
Aim / A system-wide perspective03Design explorationFind promising directions
Expand parameter studies, optimisation and sensitivity analysis to compare alternatives and understand design trade-offs.
Aim / Better-informed design choices04Virtual plantExplore behaviour over time
Bring dynamic models, virtual diagnostics and simulated control together to investigate operating scenarios before physical implementation.
Aim / Connected virtual experiments
