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 steady-state diffusion of tritium in a fusion reactor blanket has been evaluated using the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory Theta-Pinch reactor as a reference system. The purpose was to calculate the equilibrium tritium transport rate, approximate time to reach equilibrium, and tritium inventory in various regions of the reactor blanket as a function of selected blanket parameters. Values for these quantities have been tabulated for blanket conditions that appear reasonable for the reference system.
