Division Spotlight
Young Members Group
The Young Members Group works to encourage and enable all young professional members to be actively involved in the efforts and endeavors of the Society at all levels (Professional Divisions, ANS Governance, Local Sections, etc.) as they transition from the role of a student to the role of a professional. It sponsors non-technical workshops and meetings that provide professional development and networking opportunities for young professionals, collaborates with other Divisions and Groups in developing technical and non-technical content for topical and national meetings, encourages its members to participate in the activities of the Groups and Divisions that are closely related to their professional interests as well as in their local sections, introduces young members to the rules and governance structure of the Society, and nominates young professionals for awards and leadership opportunities available to members.

College students help develop waste-measuring device at Hanford
A partnership between Washington River Protection Solutions (WRPS) and Washington State University has resulted in the development of a device to measure radioactive and chemical tank waste at the Hanford Site. WRPS is the contractor at Hanford for the Department of Energy’s Office of Environmental Management.

Nu-HOPE (Nuclear-Highly Optimized Prandtl number Experiment facility) is a newly built facility in UNIST to simulate molten salt reactor. Due to the high-temperature corrosion and toxicity issue, the heat transfer phenomena of molten salt are studied under similarity technique with high-Prandtl number simulant fluid. 12-meter-high Nu-HOPE was designed for the study of both natural and forced circulation of high-Prandtl number fluid. Experimental results of natural and forced circulation can give the evaluation of heat transfer characteristics and fluid stability model for the simulant molten salt. In this paper, design of Nu-HOPE based on numerical approach to developing heat transfer model of high-Prandtl number fluid is suggested.
