This Special Section in this issue of the ASME Journal of Nuclear Engineering and Radiation Science is dedicated to selected papers from the 24th International Conference on Nuclear Engineering (ICONE-24) held in Charlotte, NC during June 26–30, 2016. The selected ICONE-24 papers were revised and reviewed to meet the journal standards and requirements. ICONE-24 was co-located with the 2016 Power and Energy Conference that brought together five concurrent ASME conferences and forums focusing on issues related to power generation, energy sources, and energy sustainability. Therefore, ICONE-24 benefited from the presence of a very large gathering of professionals in the energy sector. The ICONE conference is a premier global annual conference on nuclear engineering, science, and technology that has a quarter century history and is organized by the Nuclear Engineering Division (NED) of the ASME, the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers (JSME), and the Chinese Nuclear Society (CNS). The first conference,...
