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
Fusion Energy
This division promotes the development and timely introduction of fusion energy as a sustainable energy source with favorable economic, environmental, and safety attributes. The division cooperates with other organizations on common issues of multidisciplinary fusion science and technology, conducts professional meetings, and disseminates technical information in support of these goals. Members focus on the assessment and resolution of critical developmental issues for practical fusion energy applications.

Fermilab center renamed after late particle physicist Helen Edwards
Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory’s Integrated Engineering Research Center, which officially opened in January 2024, is now known as the Helen Edwards Engineering Center. The name was changed to honor the late particle physicist who led the design, construction, commissioning, and operation of the lab’s Tevatron accelerator and was part of the Water Resources Development Act signed by President Biden in December 2024, according to a Fermilab press release.
Keynotes Session
Thursday, August 24, 2023|8:00–8:50AM EDT|Columbia 9/10
Session Chair:
David Luxat (SNL)
Fulvio has a Master’s Degree in Nuclear Engineering (2006) and the doctorate PhD in “Nuclear, Chemical and Safety Technology” (2010) at the University of Palermo.
Since September 2013 he has worked as a researcher at the ENEA. His technical field is the nuclear reactor thermal-hydraulics in reactor coolant systems/containment, and their coupling and the analyses of severe accident phenomena. In relation to that, he is an expert on the use of best estimate thermal-hydraulic system code (RELAP5 and TRACE) and severe accident code (ASTEC and MELCOR).
Currently he is investigating severe accident issues in PWR and BWR reactor types, the analyses of the capability of best estimate thermal-hydraulic system code to simulate the main phenomena typical of advanced light water reactor, as small modular reactor, and the thermal-hydraulic phenomena typical of fusion reactor, the analyses of the scaling issues, the analyses of the capability of severe accident code to simulate degradation phenomena, and the application of the probabilistic method to propagate input uncertainty in deterministic safety analyses.
He is involved in several international activities (e.g. EURATOM Projects, OECD/NEA/CSNI/WGAMA activities, IAEA activities, etc).
