Reactor Visualization of Xenon-135 Distribution

Caption

A visualization showing the distribution of the fission product Xenon-135, an important marker for predicting reactor behavior, in the WB2 reactor core during startup. VERA enables the detailed tracking of Xenon-135 with greater fidelity than any modern reactor simulation tool available today.
