The 2025 ANS election results are in!
Spring marks the passing of the torch for American Nuclear Society leadership. During this election cycle, ANS members voted for the newest vice president/president-elect, treasurer, and six board of director positions (four U.S., one non-U.S., one student). New professional division leadership was also decided on in this election, which opened February 25 and closed April 15. About 21 percent of eligible members of the Society voted—a similar turnout to last year.

Session Chair:
Eva E. Davidson
Session Organizer:
With increased high-performance computing (HPC) capabilities, multiphysics codes for reactor applications can be powerful in simulating complex reactor behavior for advanced reactors and the current fleet of light water reactors. There are many advantages to simulating reactor behavior with multiphysics codes, and they can aid in the design and licensing of reactor concepts. However, there are challenges to coupling codes simulating various physical phenomena including working with different time scales, meshes, units etc. which will be discussed. In addition, the panel discussions will include additional issues such as verification and validation of multiphysics codes and software usability by analysts who are not subject matter experts in all physical phenomena being simulated.
