Mark Peters: Building on a strong foundation
Summer at the American Nuclear Society carries with it a sense of renewed momentum as the incoming president takes office and starts making plans for the year ahead. This has been particularly true in the last few years, as nuclear energy moves into a new era marked by broader public interest, stronger policy support, and a growing sense of possibility across the field. Mark Peters, the Society’s 72nd president, shares that optimism—and he is focused on turning it into results.
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.
