%0 Journal Article %T Density Functional Theory Approach to Nuclear Fission %A N. Schunck %J Physics %D 2012 %I arXiv %R 10.5506/APhysPolB.44.263 %X The Skyrme nuclear energy density functional theory (DFT) is used to model neutron-induced fission in actinides. This paper focuses on the numerical implementation of the theory. In particular, it reports recent advances in DFT code development on leadership class computers, and presents a detailed analysis of the numerical accuracy of DFT solvers for near-scission calculations. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1212.3356v2
