TRANSP is a time-dependent 2D MHD equilibrium and 1D plasma transport solver for modeling tokamak fusion devices. This software is used by over 100 physicists at several research centers world-wide for interpreting experimental results, predictive analysis, experimental campaign planning, and rapid between shot analysis. The capabilities of the code has grown significantly over 30+ years of development, particularly with respect to the physics models. However, attention to best software practices has lagged the advancements in physics resulting in a non-modular code that is challenging the implementation of new models which require extensive HPC capabilities. This poster describes the progress and plans for modernizing the development and maintenance cycles for TRANSP.
