Proposed FY 2027 DOE, NRC budgets ask for less
The White House is requesting $1.5 billion for the Department of Energy’s Office of Nuclear Energy in the fiscal year 2027 budget proposal, about 9 percent less than the previous year.
The request from the Trump administration is one of several associated with nuclear energy in the proposal, which was released Friday. Congress still must review and vote on the budget.
Advances in Thermal Hydraulics (ATH 2022)

Alternate Chair:
In the past few years, reactor thermal-hydraulic (T-H) study has advanced with the support of machine learning (ML) in many aspects, including automated experimental data analysis, data-driven prediction for important reactor thermal-fluid phenomena, and surrogate modeling and uncertainty quantification for reactor system codes. ML also showed promising potential to expand reactor T-H to a wider range of applications to better support advanced reactor deployment, such as integrated multi-physics modeling and digital twin. On the other hand, ML in T-H study has its unique challenges, from data availability and quality to model transparency and interpretability. In this panel session, experts from different institutes with a diverse background will share their experience and perspectives on ML for T-H study, including recent progresses, existing challenges and potential solutions, and future opportunities.
