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 new experimental technique has been developed for dynamically measuring the thermomechanical properties of fissile materials. The speed of sound, modulus of elasticity, and coefficient of thermal expansion as a function of temperature for uranium alloys can be determined using the heating conditions that exist in a fast pulsed reactor. The technique was developed to provide thermomechanical property data for pulse reactor fuels under actual use conditions.
