The NFCSS is a computer simulation system that uses simplified approaches to calculate nuclear fuel cycle requirements.
The system, formerly known as VISTA, provides a detailed description of the simulation system, an example scenario with results, and a simple calculation tool, which can be used to calculate annual material flow in a selected nuclear fuel cycle option. The NFCSS' model estimates fuel cycle material, service requirements and actinide arisings.
