DER/SPRC/LEPh - Developing new methods for neutronics validation and multi-physics modeling of GEN IV reactors with the INCA platform

Aim: develop new automated tools and functionalities in the INCA Python platform to unify geometry/physics descriptions and support V&V and multi‑physics studies on Gen‑IV fast reactors.

• Scope: interfacing and workflows across APOLLO3, TRIPOLI4 (neutronics), CATHARE3 (TH), GERMINAL (fuel thermo‑mechanics); expand domain of usage; performance tests on realistic reactor applications.
• Requirements: strong Python background; interest in reactor physics; autonomy.
• Tools: INCA, APOLLO3, TRIPOLI4, possible coupling with CATHARE3/GERMINAL.
• Outcomes: robust scripts/modules for V&V and multi‑physics campaigns.
