Division Spotlight
Young Members Group
The Young Members Group works to encourage and enable all young professional members to be actively involved in the efforts and endeavors of the Society at all levels (Professional Divisions, ANS Governance, Local Sections, etc.) as they transition from the role of a student to the role of a professional. It sponsors non-technical workshops and meetings that provide professional development and networking opportunities for young professionals, collaborates with other Divisions and Groups in developing technical and non-technical content for topical and national meetings, encourages its members to participate in the activities of the Groups and Divisions that are closely related to their professional interests as well as in their local sections, introduces young members to the rules and governance structure of the Society, and nominates young professionals for awards and leadership opportunities available to members.

A more open future for nuclear research
A growing number of institutional, national, and funder mandates are requiring researchers to make their published work immediately publicly accessible, through either open repositories or open access (OA) publications. In addition, both private and public funders are developing policies, such as those from the Office of Science and Technology Policy and the European Commission, that ask researchers to make publicly available at the time of publication as much of their underlying data and other materials as possible. These, combined with movement in the scientific community toward embracing open science principles (seen, for example, in the dramatic rise of preprint servers like arXiv), demonstrate a need for a different kind of publishing outlet.

Presented at the
NURETH Topical Meeting
Monetary Award
N/A
The THD NURETH Scholar award recognizes individuals who have made outstanding contributions to numerous International Topical Meetings on Nuclear Reactor Thermal-Hydraulics (NURETH) since 1980. The award recognizes sustained and exceptional contributions to the NURETH conference. The goal is to recognize both service and sustained technical contributions and build a culture of excellence around the conference.
Contributions may include:
The award is presented every two (2) years and at the closest NURETH conference. The award consists of an engraved plaque. More than one recipient, but no more than three, may be named for each NURETH conference.
This award was established by the Thermal Hydraulics Division in 2013 (previously known as NURETH Fellow), and became a sanctioned ANS award in November 2024.
\The International Topical Meetings on Nuclear Reactor Thermal Hydraulics (NURETH) is the most important conference worldwide in the field of thermal hydraulics since 1980. It retains a loyal following across many continents. Following the example of the competitor ICONE (InternationalConference on Nuclear Engineering) conference (e.g., ICONE award).
This award recognizes an individual for exceptional and sustained contributions to the NURETH conference series and the thermal-hydraulics field in general.
Nominees (non-ANS members are also eligible) must meet the following two MINIMUM requirements:
All of the above criteria must be met for a candidate to be considered. In the event of nominations for more than two candidates meeting the criteria, the scholarly reputation and standing of the candidates in the community will be considered.
Nominations must include the completed nomination form accompanied by the following supporting documents:
The THD Honors & Awards Committee, rather than the THD officers or Executive Committee, is responsible for reviewing the nomination packages and selecting an appropriate winner. If members of the THD Honors & Awards Committee are considered for the THD award, they recuse themselves from the selection process.
