The DOE’s plan for AI in NRC licensing
The Department of Energy announced the completion of a proof-of-concept demonstration of the use of Everstar’s AI tool to generate chapter 5 of an NRC license application from preliminary safety documents.
The 208-page document was created by the AI tool in approximately one day. According to the DOE, it would typically take a team of people between four and six weeks to complete this work.

An availability simulation methodology and a computer program (PROPA) have been developed for systems subject to three states: normal, degraded, and failed. The program is used to analyze the STARFIRE tokamak fusion reactor plant. The new program extends our modeling capability for complex systems; while it is found that significant improvements are needed in the areas of reliability data, understanding of system behavior, and the computing speed.
