What is this?
A curated directory of open source software for nuclear science and engineering: roughly 75 codes and tools spanning particle transport, nuclear data, fuel cycle, thermal hydraulics, and multiphysics, each a one-liner with a link.

Nothing installs from this repository.

Nothing installs from this repository.Does the list tell me which tool is best?No — there are no ratings, comparisons, or install guides; you judge each project from its one-line entry. Only open source projects make the cut.

Only open source projects make the cut.Who is this for — working nuclear engineers, researchers, students?Anyone in nuclear science or engineering looking for open source tools: researchers, students, and analysts. The list also names the academic and IAEA groups building this ecosystem: ARFC (UIUC), CNERG (UW-Madison), CRPG (MIT), and ONCORE.

Yes, at the edges: NucML is a machine-learning pipeline for nuclear data evaluation, and RAVEN is a framework for UQ, regression, PRA, and model optimization.Besides reactor codes, what else would I find here?Fuel cycle simulators like Cyclus, CFD codes like OpenFOAM and Nek5000, decay solvers like radioactivedecay, CAD-to-Monte-Carlo toolkits like DAGMC and McCAD, Python parsers such as MontePy and serpentTools, and a detailed CAD model of the MSRE experiment.
