Professor Igor Pioro from the ENE FEAS has supervised two capstone groups of students (3 + 5 students in total) last educational year. During their studies students have expressed interest to participate in the 43rd Annual CNS Conference and the 48th Annual CNS/CNA Student Conference (Saskatoon, SK, Canada, June 16-19, 2024) with papers in the student track. Therefore, Professor Pioro has proposed 9 topics for future papers and students have prepared 9 papers [1-9] (paper [9] was prepared by an MASc student and 3 capstone students), which were submitted to the student track. After addressing reviewers' comments the final papers were accepted and presented at the CNS conference. This Fall all these students' papers were published in the conference proceedings. Moreover, updated paper [10] on heat transfer to supercritical water was prepared by one capstone group of 3 students and presented by an MASc student M. Kavalci at the 31st International Conference On Nuclear Engineering (ICONE-31), August 4–8, Prague, Czech Republic. The poster of this paper was awarded with the Certificate as the Best Poster North-America Award.
