Abstract
The four-year Numerical Multi-Physics (NUMPS) project funded by the Academy of Finland was initiated at VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland in September 2012, for the purpose of studying and developing high-fidelity computational methods for nuclear reactor analysis. The project is built around calculation codes developed at VTT, and it aims at the coupled three-dimensional modeling of neutronics, thermal hydraulics and fuel behavior of nuclear reactors. The work involves the continuous-energy Monte Carlo code Serpent and CFD code PORFLO, together with two light-weight solvers, COSY and FINIX, coupled to Serpent at source code level. This paper is a review on the current status and development activities, reflecting the status of the NUMPS project at the beginning of its second complete year.

Funding
This work has been funded by the Academy of Finland , in part of the Numerical Multi-Physics (NUMPS) project at VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland. The development of the FINIX code is mainly funded from the PALAMA project within the Finnish national research programme on nuclear power plant safety (SAFIR 2014).
