The U.S. Department of Energy selected the Colorado School of Mines to lead two projects under the Genesis Mission. Researchers will utilize artificial intelligence to improve critical mineral exploration and streamline the nuclear fuel recycling process. These initiatives aim to integrate complex data sets and accelerate decision-making through advanced computational frameworks.

The nuclear fuel project focuses on reducing the time required for complex simulations related to recycling, safeguards, and waste management. By linking existing modeling tools through AI agents, the team intends to shorten analysis cycles from weeks to days. This effort addresses the technical and economic barriers to closing the nuclear fuel cycle, which remains a priority for domestic fuel security and the deployment of advanced reactor designs.

Colorado School of Mines will lead two Genesis Mission projects using AI to advance critical mineral exploration and nuclear fuel recycling.

Researchers at Colorado School of Mines will develop new artificial intelligence-driven frameworks to address two major energy challenges in the U.S.: the search for new deposits of critical minerals and the recycling of fuel for nuclear power.

The projects, led by Sebnem Düzgün, Fred Banfield Distinguished Endowed Chair in Mining Engineering, and Jenifer Shafer, Ben L. Fryrear Presidential Chair in Energy, respectively, were awarded funding today by the U.S. Department of Energy as part of the Genesis Mission.
