Argonne: Where AI research meets education and training
Last September, in the Chicago suburb of Lemont, Ill., Argonne National Laboratory hosted its first AI STEM Education Summit. More than 180 educators from high schools, community colleges, and universities; STEM administrators; and experts in various disciplines convened at “One Ecosystem, Many Pathways–Building an AI-Ready STEM Workforce” to discuss how artificial intelligence is reshaping STEM-related industries, including the implications for the nuclear engineering classroom and workforce.

The thermal conductivity λ, electrical resistivity ρ, and absolute Seebeck coefficient S of two grades of nearly isotropic graphite were measured from 300 to 1000°K both before and after neutron irradiation up to 5.0 × 1021 n/cm2 (>50 keV). Nominal irradiation temperatures were 823, 923, and 1023°K. The thermal resistance, λ−1, of the unirradiated graphites was proportional to T from 500 to 1000°K. Neutron irradiation decreased λ at 300°K by a factor of 4.5 and increased ρ at 300°K by 2.5, in general agreement with previous investigations, and irradiation changed S from small negative values to large positive ones. The product of thermal conductivity and electrical resistivity was nearly constant with fluence from 2.6 × 1021 to 5.0 × 1021 n/cm2.
