AI at work: Southern Nuclear’s adoption of Copilot agents drives fleet forward
Southern Nuclear is leading the charge in artificial intelligence integration, with employee-developed applications driving efficiencies in maintenance, operations, safety, and performance.
The tools span all roles within the company, with thousands of documented uses throughout the fleet, including improved maintenance efficiency, risk awareness in maintenance activities, and better-informed decision-making. The data-intensive process of preparing for and executing maintenance operations is streamlined by leveraging AI to put the right information at the fingertips for maintenance leaders, planners, schedulers, engineers, and technicians.

The bombardment of beryllium by carbon is investigated by a dynamic Monte Carlo simulation to demonstrate the complicated nature of this type of simple system by considering only collisional effects. Furthermore, the sputtering yield dependence on the incident angle is investigated for O-BeO, Be-Be, and C-Be systems at 3 keV. Experimental data on the influence of boron in carbon targets on the sputtering yield for bombardment by 1-keV deuterium are provided.
