Want cheaper nuclear energy? Turn the design process into a game

In this AI-designed layout for a boiling water reactor, fuel rods in the assembly are ideally positioned around two fixed water rods to burn more efficiently. MIT researchers ran the equivalent of 36,000 simulations to find the optimal configuration, which could extend the life of the rods in an assembly by about 5 percent, generating $3 million in savings per year if scaled to the full reactor. Colors correspond to varying amounts of uranium and gadolinium oxide in each rod.
