Editorial: Benchmark experiments, development and needs in support of advanced reactor design

Benchmark Experiments, Development and Needs in Support of Advanced Reactor Design 10 nuclear reactor designs will for the most part be a departure from low enrichment light 11 water (LWR) currently operated around world. Such advanced include 12 but are not limited to new TRISO-fueled high temperature gas reactors, heat-pipe cooled micro-13 fluoride salt high-temperature molten lead fast 14 thermal propulsion concepts, LWR with fuel clad types. 15Modeling simulation methods reactors is necessary regulators approve 16 license requests. However, also require that modeling approaches validated against 17 experimental measurements. Hence, there crucial need data systems 18 support validation analysis methods.
