Want cheaper nuclear energy? Turn the design process into a game
Want cheaper nuclear energy? Turn the design process into a game December 21, 2020ScienceBlog.com Researchers show that deep reinforcement learning can be used to design more efficient nuclear reactors. Nuclear energy provides more carbon-free electricity in the United States than solar and wind combined, making it a key player in the fight against climate change. But the U.S. nuclear fleet is aging, and operators are under pressure to streamline their operations to compete with coal- and gas-fired plants. One of the key places to cut costs is deep in the reactor core, where energy is produce...
