Coupled multiphysics and AI-accelerated design, backed by in-house precision fabrication and national-lab-class testing. One loop, from model to metal.
Not a stack of disconnected tools. CRISP fuses experiments, data, and solvers into one platform that runs from material data all the way to accident, launch, and transport conditions in a single automated pass: every physics, every reactor type, fully coupled.
32 coupled capabilities and growing, all inside one framework, all driven by the same material data.
Neutronics, Transport, Thermal-Hydraulics, Structures, Fuels & Materials in One Run.
Micro, Space, Fast, Molten-Salt, Gas & Water Systems.
Steady-State, Transients, Off-Normal, Launch & Transport Loads.
Physics-Informed ML, Uncertainty Quantification & Automated Design Search.
Developed by the Team Behind the Nation's Reference Reactor Designs.
Per-Seat, Cloud, or On-Prem for Classified Work.
The capability that separates real reactor builders from paper designers, and that only a handful of national labs like SNL and INL have ever fielded. We take a "paper" reactor and build an electrically-heated test article that reproduces the real thermal-hydraulic conditions, validating the design before any fuel is involved. It is the same methodology our team used to take a space reactor to full power.
Specialty thermal simulators that stand in for nuclear heat, reproducing core thermal-hydraulics for safe, fast, repeatable testing of cores, reflectors, shields, and support systems.
Design and operation of pumped alkali-metal loops (lithium, NaK) and heat-pipe cores: the thermal backbone of space-reactor power systems.
Defining data-acquisition requirements, instrumentation, and test procedures, with the evaluation methods to turn test data into design decisions.
Hands-on fabrication across metals, ceramics, and high-temperature composites, through furnaces and vacuum systems built for reactor-grade environments.
Ceramic furnaces to 3000°F for thermal and mechanical material qualification.
Vacuum below 1e-5 Torr and thermal-vacuum qualification for space-bound hardware.
Metal, ceramic & composite machining, brazing, welding, and robotic assembly.
CRISP drives physical testing, and measured data feeds straight back to refine the models. Running design, simulation, fabrication, and test as one workflow is what lets us iterate in days, validate against real hardware, and qualify components for extreme service.
Contract R&D, multiphysics modeling, criticality & safety analysis, independent V&V, and test-as-a-service.
