CMU, Princeton join forces to use AI for Nuclear Fusion
What if the future of energy could be as limitless as the stars? As nuclear fission powers today’s reactors, researchers are looking toward nuclear fusion as a cleaner, safer, and long-lasting source of energy. Nuclear power plants are largely considered as one of the most reliable sources of energy.
With funding from the Department of Energy, the team has been able to make significant advancements using artificial intelligence (AI) to help control the challenging dynamics of nuclear fusion. In June, the team brought together AI experts and plasma physicists to conduct experiments with the tokamak at the DIII-D National Fusion Facility in San Diego. The implications of successful nuclear fusion are immense, offering a clean and abundant energy source that has the potential to help mitigate major global issues like climate change, water scarcity, and food distribution.
