Basic architecture and design of storage simulation construction set

Regular practice these days has been to build a simulation prototype of an actual entity needing to be built prior to building an actual physical model. Computer simulation and modeling techniques aid greatly in this practice. In a critical system such as a fissile material storage system, various issues such as safety, security, and automation of handling processes can be assessed through virtual environments, thereby creating a safe atmosphere for research versus hands-on experimentation and possible worker exposures. By utilizing the approaches presented in this study, the concepts can be applied for rapid virtual prototyping of other systems, as this type of system is not limited to the storage of nuclear materials
