A software algorithm developed by Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) has reduced the time needed to inspect 3D-printed parts for nuclear applications by 85 percent.
Researchers are now training the algorithm for Idaho National Laboratory (INL) to apply similar methods for irradiated materials and nuclear fuel.
Faster analysis of 3D-printed parts
Additive manufacturing, also called 3D-printing, can enable the domestic fabrication of complex nuclear parts in a short time.
The quality of these pr
