  Every car manufacturer has a computer code that will predict the emissions coming out of a specific car model's tailpipe given the environmental parameters. My work over the past 6 years has been to develop such a code for liquid fuel molten salt reactors. Not only do my methods simulate reactor processes but said methods include modules for the simulation of a reactor operator who seeks to linearly optimize some target objective concerning the reactor. These methods have been built inside the SERPENT2 Monte Carlo code written in C.
