keff using updated control rod positions.
In addition, the platform supports side-by-side comparison of two different core states — empowering users
to understand fuel behavior and reactivity evolution over time.

The Data page provides access to reactor operation records by date.
Users can browse historical data visually and use the built-in Txt2SQL feature to query the
database in plain English.
For example, you can simply type "Show detector readings from last Monday" to get results instantly — making
data analysis faster and more intuitive.

The Simulator page replicates the real NETL TRIGA control panel — providing a familiar interface for those
who have operated the reactor.
On top of standard control functionality, it includes additional features designed for education and
engineering analysis.
This enables both students and researchers to interact with a virtual reactor environment and test control
strategies in a safe and flexible space.
