Argonne scientists use AI to detect hidden defects in stainless steel
Imagine you’re constructing a bridge or designing an airplane, and everything appears flawless on the outside. However, microscopic flaws beneath the surface could weaken the entire structure over time.
These hidden defects can be difficult to detect with traditional inspection methods, but a new technology developed by scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory is changing that. Using artificial intelligence and advanced imaging techniques, researchers have developed a method to reveal these tiny flaws before they become critical problems.
SUNDAY, AUGUST 8, 2021 | 8:30 AM
The 2021 ANS Utility Working Conference (UWC) Golf Tournament will be held at The Rookery at Marco starting at 8:30 am. This tournament is open to all conference attendees and guests.
Your foursome will be assigned after receipt of your registration and payment. You will be notified a week prior to the Tournament.
A $125 golf tournament fee is required from each UWC registered attendee. You may register your guest(s) for golf at a fee of $125 per person. The fee includes:
Club Rentals: $85+ tax (Six golf balls are included)
Transportation will be provided to/from the main hotel and The Rookery. Busses will leave from the San Marco entrance at 7:15am and will depart right after the Luncheon Award Ceremony.

(8.9 miles away from JW Marriott Marco Island Beach Resort)
The format of the tournament will be Best Ball Scramble. With this format each player will hit his/her drive. You select the best shot and everyone plays their next shot from that location. You continue this format until the ball is holed out.
We will make every attempt to have the teams evenly paired to keep the scores as competitive as possible. If you have someone that you wish to be paired with, please include during your registration.
If you are unable to participate in the golf tournament after you have registered, please contact the ANS Registrar at registrar@ans.org, immediately. Refunds will be issued until Friday, July 6. No refunds will be issued after Friday, July 6, 2021; however, you may send a substitute. If you have any golf questions, please contact registrar.
