The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

The Law of Large Numbers, or Why It Is a Bad Idea to Go to the Casino
It was actually invented for this.

The art of solving problems with Monte Carlo simulations
Even given their nuclear weapons origin, we lowly civil nuclear power engineers still use Monte Carlo methods all day every day. We all make our employers buy big supercomputers or get us access to the national lab leadership class HPC to just pound the hell out of our reactor design problems with random particle transport chains. Sure there are (dramatically) faster deterministic methods that are generally good enough, but Monte Carlo allows you to use exact geometry and not bother too much with the pesky art of computing average nuclear interaction probabilities.
Heck, my buddy at MIT made an open-source Monte Carlo code called OpenMC that's now run by Argonne National Lab [1]. Now everyone can do truly legit reactor design with Monte Carlo!

Is there a relatively simple nuclear simulator available
I found a list of nuclear frameworks, models and software and was wondering where to start.

What software is used in Renewables and Nuclear power industries?
We do write a lot of Python and C++ code to do data management and make new simulations. Like this open source framework and its related list of plugins. Actually there is a whole list of open source nuclear related software.

Show HN: GitHub – Browse Every List on GitHub
Great concept and implementation. Anyone know how they found "all" awesome lists? For example the Awesome Nuclear [1] list is missing.
