Qbox Atomic Simulation Program

The US Department of Energy is running a program, called Qbox, which simulates the reliability of America's aging stockpile of nuclear weapons without actually having to perform detonation experiments. The program, which is the most computationally intensive ever developed, runs on the Blue Gene/L (by IBM) at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California. More details can be found in the New Scientist article on the subject.
