NURETH-20 marks a key milestone of over 40 years of reactor thermal-hydraulics. As the flagship conference of ANS THD, NURETH has grown and expanded in the last 40 years and continues to impact the global thermal-hydraulic community. In this short panel, we celebrate the pioneers of NURETH (Todreas, Lahey and Podowski).
As a part of the 40th year anniversary celebration, this special panel is dedicated to recognizing and celebrating 40 years of success throughout the series of 20 NURETH conferences together with the founders, co-founders, and long term contributors of NURETH. As the invited panelists, the founders and co-founders of NURETH, Prof. Richard Lahey, Prof. Neil Todreas, and Prof. Michael Podowski will recollect and share their thoughts and experience in creating ANS THD and the NURETH series through their most enlightening speeches.
The trend of technical evolution in reactor thermal-hydraulics will be reviewed and summarized hand-in-hand with the history of the NURETH series (to be further explored).
