The article mmentions Moose, MFEM, OpenMC, but the really good stuff relevant for us nuclear physicist I would expect being talked about aren't mentioned: Bison, Transuranus, Marmot, Serpent, Vasp, Rattlesnake, Fispact.

On the open source open access side I'm missing Lammps or Geant4.



LAMMPS: https://lammps.org/ - MD Simulator (Sandia Labs)

GEANT4: https://geant4.web.cern.ch/ Monte Carlo code for particles through matter (CERN)

Moose & MFEM are great projects and important in itself, but not relevant in the nuclear physics domain. Software which is remains export-restricted for good reasons. Here a list for the curious mind:

FISPACT-II: https://fispact.ukaea.uk/ Inventory & Source term (UKAEA)

MCNP: https://mcnp.lanl.gov/ - Monte Carlo code (LANL)

SERPENT: https://serpent.vtt.fi/serpent/ - Neutronics (VTT)

VASP: https://www.vasp.at/ - Ab Initio DFT (U Vienna)

TRANSURANUS: https://data.jrc.ec.europa.eu/collection/transuranus - Nuclear Fuel Performance Code (EU/JRC)

BISON: https://bison.inl.gov - Next-Gen Nuclear Fuel Performance Code (INL)

(edit: formatting)
