ANS announces 2025 Presidential Citations
One of the privileges of being president of the American Nuclear Society is awarding Presidential Citations to individuals who have demonstrated outstanding effort in some manner for the benefit of ANS or the nuclear community at large. Citations are conferred twice each year, at the Annual and Winter Meetings.
ANS President Lisa Marshall has named this season’s recipients, who will receive recognition at the upcoming Annual Conference in Chicago during the Special Session on Tuesday, June 17.

Flow boiling one of the most interesting and relevant two-phase flow phenomenon for nuclear reactor operation and safety. The verification of multi-bubble evaporation and condensation model has been conducted and applied to flow boiling simulation. The flow boiling simulations presented in this paper aims to demonstrate the potential of direct numerical simulation approach to study local bubble behavior in unstructured mesh domain using several nucleation sites which exhibit qualitatively different behavior.
