ANS is committed to advancing, fostering, and promoting the development and application of nuclear sciences and technologies to benefit society.
Explore the many uses for nuclear science and its impact on energy, the environment, healthcare, food, and more.
Division Spotlight
Thermal Hydraulics
The division provides a forum for focused technical dialogue on thermal hydraulic technology in the nuclear industry. Specifically, this will include heat transfer and fluid mechanics involved in the utilization of nuclear energy. It is intended to attract the highest quality of theoretical and experimental work to ANS, including research on basic phenomena and application to nuclear system design.

Session Chair:
Eric A. Thornsbury
Session Organizer:
In this panel session, each panelist will discuss their perspectives on needed improvements in risk analysis methods and tools to support the development and deployment of advanced reactors. Because advanced reactors are expected to employ more advanced systems designed to operate differently than the existing large, commercial, operating plants, improvements in existing risk methods and tools may be beneficial. The range of panelists will provide perspectives from advanced reactor developers and current utilities that are looking toward future advanced reactor construction and operation. Each speaker will provide a 10-minute summary, followed by a question-and-answer opportunity.
