The paper provides a brief description of the functionality of the nuclear energy system modelling application package (NESAPP), including a list of modelling objects, key assumptions and areas of application. NESAPP consists of the following main modules: NUDAPS (a module for calculating thermal neutron cross-sections, resonance integrals and one-group neutron cross-sections, and associated uncertainties), NUCLEX (a module for calculating the evolution of the nuclide composition and characteristics of nuclear fuel in reactors and at the nuclear fuel cycle front-end and back-end steps), NUCAB (a module for adjusting isotopic composition and blending), FANES (a module for analysing material flows and integrating data in nuclear energy evolution scenarios), ECNES (a module for assessing economic performance metrics for the nuclear energy evolution scenarios). Each of the modules is a calculation tool that can be used as independent or integrated into the software for technical and economic modelling of nuclear energy systems. Various calculation models are implemented in the modules, allowing users to evaluate the methodological component of the calculation uncertainty in scenario modelling studies and the functionality for assessing the impact of initial data uncertainties on the resulting indicators. The authors also provide some examples of applying NESAPP.
