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.

A metering system has been devised and tested which utilizes a solid-electrolyte oxygen-activity meter to measure the carbon activity in high-temperature sodium. The activity of the carbon is related to the activity of oxygen by the reactions C + CO2 ⇄ 2CO2CO + O2 ⇄ 2CO2Good agreement was obtained between actual calibration points and values calculated from thermodynamic considerations.
