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.

Projections have been made regarding the quantities of spent fuel arising from reactors in Canada. It is concluded that for at least 75 years the waste will be manageable and the storage risk is acceptably small. Conceptual designs of several fuel storage facilities have been completed and fuel storage costs were estimated. These are in the region of 0.1 mil/kWh for all storage schemes studied. A choice of the specific interim storage facility to be used has not yet been made. However, it is believed that any of the systems described would be acceptable.
