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.

Comprehensive load-follow demonstrations were conducted on Consolidated Edison’s Indian Point, Unit 2 plant located in Buchanan, New York, in August and September of 1974. The purpose was to examine new load-follow procedures recently developed by Westinghouse for pressurized water reactor usage. These procedures are based on constant axial offset (or target flux difference) power-distribution control. Two different modes of load-follow operation, with and without part-length control rods, were performed. The operational feasibility of constant axial offset power-distribution control has been verified as a result of the Indian Point demonstrations.
