Cyclus

Cyclus is the next-generation agent-based nuclear fuel cycle simulator, providing flexibility to users and developers through a dynamic resource exchange solver and plug-in, user-developed agent framework.

The goal of Cyclus is to enable a broad spectrum of fuel cycle simulation while providing a low barrier to entry for new users and agent developers. Cyclus engages with potential module developers and encourages them to join a vibrant community in an expanding ecosystem. Users and developers are always welcome and encouraged to use or contribute to the Cyclus project.

The Cyclus project repository is located at http://github.com/cyclus/cyclus
