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 method for the nondestructive determination of two-dimensional radial isotopic distributions of fission and activation products of irradiated fuel pins was improved. In this method the fuel pins are gamma-scanned diametrally at two or more angular orientations, and the diametral isotopic scans are unfolded into two-dimensional radial isotopic distributions. The computer code for processing the data was improved so that it calculates the individual diametral volume segments, the source self-attenuation factors, and the source intensity matrices. The two-dimensional source intensity matrices are presented as radial isotopic distributions, density plots, contour plots, and isometric projections. The new computer code improves the precision and reduces the analysis time as shown in the examination of more than 10 experimental fast-reactor fuel pins.
