For decades, the United States has sought a permanent disposal solution for spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste. Artificial intelligence may be able to help. Engineering Assistant Professor Ankita Shukla, an expert in this field, is exploring how AI can help scientists reason over decades of scientific and regulatory information used in nuclear waste repository safety assessments. Her research project, Data to Decision, was funded this summer through the Department of Energy’s Genesis Mission, a national initiative to use AI to accelerate scientific discovery. “What interested me about thisRead More
