OECD NEA project gets ahead of AI use in nuclear industry
The OECD Nuclear Energy Agency’s International Regulatory Laboratory (RegLab) Project, which brings together experts from across the nuclear field to examine the potential impact of emerging technologies, has released a report on its first cycle that details the outcomes of a RegLab focused on the use of artificial intelligence in real-time monitoring of nuclear power plants.
Participants started out with an initial problem/opportunity statement, from which they developed a use case and a mock safety, security, safeguards, and environmental protection (SSSE) case. Then, over the course of two workshops, participants considered these cases in depth.

Experts across many disciplines face challenges in communicating with the public about issues of safety and risk. Particularly in the arena of nuclear technologies, technical complexity and widespread misinformation can increase the barriers to effective communication. In this panel session, nuclear professionals will discuss their strategies for facilitating clear, informative, and honest conversations with non-experts about safety and risk in nuclear, and about the positive role of nuclear technologies in our communities.
