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-neutron flux magnitude and distribution were measured in large cubical cavities for a bare and paraffin-covered 241Am-Be neutron source situated in the center. The flux at a specific location in each cavity was found to be proportional to the inverse surface area of the cavity. The thermal-neutron flux/fast-neutron flux at each location was found to be essentially constant for the range of cube sizes under study.
