Nuclear thermal-hydraulics has a leading role in nuclear safety and in the viability of the nuclear industry. Over the past few years, there have been numerous innovations that are enabling the design of new and advanced reactor systems while providing increased margins of safety. NURETH-20 will highlight emerging technical innovations enabled by thermal-hydraulic research including passively cooled SMRs, advanced non-LWRs, “microreactors” cooled by heat pipes, and the use of artificial intelligence in data analysis. The opening plenary will feature several top innovators in the nuclear industry and provide an opportunity for attendees to hear how thermal-hydraulics makes it all possible.
