In recent years, the popularity of individual energy production using renewable energy sources has been growing rapidly. At the beginning of July this year, the first collective prosumer in Poland began operating. This was made possible by cooperation in which the Interdisciplinary Department of Energy Analysis (IDEA), which is part of the National Center for Nuclear Research, participated.

Machine learning helps understand the behavior of magnesium alloys
2023.07.18 13:33 - Marek Pawłowski
Machine learning was used to map the distribution of dislocations in Mg alloys and predict their mechanical properties. A group of scientists from Finland, Spain, and NCBJ trained a deep learning model on a dataset of electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) images of Mg alloys with different dislocation densities. This could lead to the development of novel materials with optimized mechanical properties. Their paper appeared in the July issue of Nature Scientific Reports.

PAA authorization – The first step of NCBJ to fulfill the role of TSO
2023.06.30 14:42 - Marek Pawłowski
NCBJ has been authorized by the National Atomic Energy Agency, which will allow the institute to support the activities of the Agency’s President in the field of safety of nuclear power plants and nuclear physics in practical applications. At the current stage, these tasks will be primarily related to the processes of licensing future power plants and supervision over their construction.
