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.

Two previous correlations of the change in ductile-to-brittle transition temperature of A302B steel with neutron exposure have been supplemented by an updated correlation that employs newer cross-section informationfor neutron spectral calculations and for analyzing monitor activations. An International Atomic Energy Agency specialists’ recommended damage model for secondary displacements and an improved treatment of energy transfer to primary knock-on atoms due to neutron inelastic scattering have also been used. Consistent application of the previous and updated correlations at the inner edge of a typical pressurized water reactor vessel results in no significant differences in anticipated change in transition temperature.
