ANSThermal Hydraulics Division(THD)
Presentation to ANS Board of DirectorsbySeungjin KimTHD ChairGrand BallroomB,Wednesday, June 14, 2017
Agenda Item #4.c
To establish, stimulate, and maintain quality technical and professional approaches in all areas of Nuclear Thermal Hydraulics. This is accomplished by:Advancing knowledge of thermal and hydraulic phenomenaAiding in the integration and dissemination of thermal hydraulics informationPromoting effective exchange of thermal hydraulics informationProviding venues/mechanisms for interaction among nuclear industry, regulatory groups, ANS Divisions and others in the technical community

Professional DevelopmentThrough strong supportof technical presentations by THD members at the national meetings, embedded topical meetings, NUTHOS and NURETH conferences,members have an opportunity to interact with other members in the field,to have immediate feedback on their technical work, and to have the opportunity to have important technical interchanges. THD provides travel support to its student members for presenting their technical work at these conferences.Sharing InformationandAdvancementsinTechnologyTheANS THD sponsored NURETH (International Topical Meeting on Nuclear ReactorThermalHydraulics) conference series is the premier technical meeting for thermal hydraulic fundamentals, computer codes, experimental techniques, methods, and related design analysis.High-qualitypapers from NURETH proceedings are also selected for publication in reputable journals. Class III and IV meetings such as ATH and NUTHOS are also actively organized.Engagingthe publicThere are no formal THD programs in place that explicitly address thispoint; however, THD has been supporting ANSStudentConferences, where public engagement can be realized by local student chapters.Engagingthe policy makersThere are no formal programs or processes in place; however, issues related to policy topics including loss-of-coolant accidents, severe accidents, and design requirements are often discussed in papers that are presented at THD sponsoredconferences, special workshopsand sessions at the nationalmeetings
