In 1969, researchers at @argonne-West (present-day @INL) successfully demonstrated recycling & reusing used nuclear fuel at the Experimental Breeder Reactor-II.⚛️

The EBR-II dome lives on today as @NRICnuclear's DOME, testing advanced reactor concepts: ans.org/news/article-5…

Genesis Agent Skills draw on expertise from across the @ENERGY national lab system, including @INL work on self-improving models, super intelligence (also known as artificial intelligence or AI) systems that monitor their own performance and adapt over time as conditions change.
How can researchers and developers use Super Intelligence (SI) more effectively in their research?

@ENERGY has released "Genesis Agent Skills," a set of coding assistants that helps researchers and developers work more effectively with SI coding tools. energy.gov/science/articl…
