Nuclear News 40 Under 40—2025
Last year, we proudly launched the inaugural Nuclear News 40 Under 40 list to shine a spotlight on the exceptional young professionals driving the nuclear sector forward as the nuclear community faces a dramatic generational shift. We weren’t sure how a second list would go over, but once again, our members resoundingly answered the call, confirming what we already knew: The nuclear community is bursting with vision, talent, and extraordinary dedication.

Assessment of the RELAP5/MOD2 code on the basis of experiments performed in a pressurized water reactor simulator, the LOBI/MOD2 facility at the European Research Center of Ispra in Italy is reported. In particular, significant experience gained in the analysis of two small-break loss-of-coolant accidents (tests A2-81 and A1-83), a steam generator tube rupture (test BL-21), a natural circulation (test A2-77A), and four transients (tests A2-90, BT-00, BT-01, and BT-03) is discussed.
