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.

System analysis codes remains as one of the major disciplines essential for the design and operation of nuclear systems. As advanced nuclear reactor developments are receiving enormous interests worldwide, it is important to develop adequate analysis tools to assess and assure the safety of advanced reactors, which covers a wide range of reactor types. In this workshop, a modern system analysis code SAM will be discussed. Besides the general code introductions, code features for specific phenomena and reactors, code applications to various advanced reactor types will be presented. Demonstrations of code execution and results visualization will also be included in an interactive session.
Cost: $49
