Just as a clogged kitchen sink can bring household routines to a halt, a blockage in a nuclear reactor's heat exchanger can slow operations and require urgent attention. Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory are now using artificial intelligence to spot these hidden clogs early. This approach will help molten-salt-cooled reactors (MSCR) run smoothly and reduce expensive interruptions. The study is published in Scientific Reports.
