Preparing students for the new nuclear

For his LGO internship in management and nuclear science and engineering, Santiago Andrade worked at Caterpillar in Lafayette, Indiana, where he helped the company explore the potential use of nuclear microreactors to power mining sites.

A new way to assess radiation damage in reactors

One of the most effective ways to control greenhouse gas emissions, many analysts argue, is to prolong the lifetimes of existing nuclear power plants. But doing so requires monitoring the condition of many of their critical components to ensure that damage from heat and radiation has not led, and will not lead, to unsafe cracking or embrittlement.

A healthy wind

A new MIT study finds that the health benefits associated with wind power could more than quadruple if operators prioritized turning down output from the most polluting fossil-fuel-based power plants when energy from wind is available.

Machine learning facilitates “turbulence tracking” in fusion reactors

A team of researchers has demonstrated the use of computer vision models to monitor turbulent structures, known as "blobs," that appear on the edge of the super-hot fuel used in controlled-nuclear-fusion research. The super-hot fuel, or plasma, is held inside a tokamak device (right photo). On the left, a "blob" highlighted in yellow is shown in a synthetic image.
