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.

Two nondestructive assay systems, the MEGAS and the Pancake Counter, for the measurement of transuranic contaminated solid wastes at 10-nCi/g activity levels, have been developed. These are Nal-based detection systems to be used specifically for low-density solid transuranic wastes. They are of value in effective implementation of new federal regulations pertaining to transuranic waste management in that they supplement the usual administrative decision making in waste handling.
