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 feasibility of using a fast pulse reactor as a neutron source in the production of time-resolved neutron radiographs has been demonstrated at the U.S. Army Pulse Radiation Facility. The radiographs were obtained using the transfer radiographic method. Pulses with a full width at half maximum of 50 µsec and 1.2 × 1017 fissions were utilized to obtain time-resolved radiographs of objects moving at speeds up to 76 m/sec. Investigation of double images, observed in radiographs of test objects moving within this speed range, suggests a method of producing “motion pictures” of these objects using one reactor pulse and a suitable stack of detection foils. Resolution of objects moving at speeds greater than 76 m/sec can be obtained by reducing source exposure time to a lower limit of 1 µsec through employment of electronic gating and image intensification techniques.
