To support the design of fusion reactors for energy production, there is an urgent need to develop highly-scalable multi-physics software tools capable of modelling critical tokamak components as a single cohesive whole. Although some loosely-coupled physics tools do exist, these lack fidelity and will fundamentally fail to capture any closed-lo…

We present new two applications, AURORA and Achlys, developed using the MOOSE framework for finite element analysis, intended to facilitate engineering analysis for fusion reactors. Respectively these couple neutronics and tritium transport to native MOOSE physics modules including heat conduction and tensor mechanics. We outline steps taken to pe…
