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 Interlaboratory LMFBR Reaction Rates program involves the determination of rates of neutron-induced reactions by the measurement of gamma-ray spectra from the decay of radioactive reaction products. A goal of the program is to determine certain nonfission reaction rates to an accuracy of ±5% and certain fission-product rates to ± %. These determinations require a knowledge of two nuclear decay scheme parameters: (a) the half-life, and (b) one or more absolute gamma-ray intensities. An evaluation of the experimental data on these parameters has been carried out for 20 isotopes, including 6 fission products. The uncertainties in these parameters have also been evaluated.
