ANS is committed to advancing, fostering, and promoting the development and application of nuclear sciences and technologies to benefit society.
Explore the many uses for nuclear science and its impact on energy, the environment, healthcare, food, and more.
Division Spotlight
Thermal Hydraulics
The division provides a forum for focused technical dialogue on thermal hydraulic technology in the nuclear industry. Specifically, this will include heat transfer and fluid mechanics involved in the utilization of nuclear energy. It is intended to attract the highest quality of theoretical and experimental work to ANS, including research on basic phenomena and application to nuclear system design.

Session Chair:
Annalisa Manera (ETHZ)
Alessandro DEL NEVO, PhD at University of Pisa. He worked at University of Pisa (2003-2010) and, then, at the Experimental Engineering Division of ENEA (R.C. Brasimone). Since 2015, he is the Head of Systems and Components Design Laboratory. He exploits his technical skills in the fields of thermal-hydraulics: code model development, validation and application; design of systems and components; design of experimental facilities, test sections and experiments; and conduction and analysis of experiments. He has been actively involved in NEA/CSNI and NEA/NSC initiatives and IAEA projects. Since 2003, he contributes to EU funded and service contracts, and he worked for the licensing of CNA-2 NPP (2007-2010). Since 2013, he is passionate about Nuclear Fusion Technology design and R&D through the participation in the EUROfusion Project: leader of the WCLL Breeding Blanket design (2014-2020); ENEA responsible of the WP Balance of Plant (2014-2020); responsible of the heavy liquid metals/water interaction activities (2013-2020); and since 2021 Deputy Project Leader and ENEA responsible of the WP Breeding Blanket. He also contributes to Nuclear Training Activities. He is co-author of 122 publications in International Journals.
