Powering the future: How the DOE is fueling nuclear fuel cycle research and development
As global interest in nuclear energy surges, the United States must remain at the forefront of research and development to ensure national energy security, advance nuclear technologies, and promote international cooperation on safety and nonproliferation. A crucial step in achieving this is analyzing how funding and resources are allocated to better understand how to direct future research and development. The Department of Energy has spearheaded this effort by funding hundreds of research projects across the country through the Nuclear Energy University Program (NEUP). This initiative has empowered dozens of universities to collaborate toward a nuclear-friendly future.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become an increasingly hot topic over the last few years, with use cases across industries. In this session, our panelists will delve into how the nuclear industry can take advantage of generative and non-generative AI to increase operational efficiencies, achieve cost savings, and deliver on the Nuclear Promise. Come hear how utilities are leveraging AI for 50.69 categorization and licensing innovation, developing word language models to support drafting evaluations and smart search capabilities, and strategic planning for adapting AI in a nuclear fleet. In addition, our panelists will discuss their own best practices for achieving site leadership buy-in to utilize AI in their plants. Come hear how utilities are developing word language models trained on a vast array of Nuclear documents for specific applications, utilizing AI for 50.69 licensing innovation, conducting strategic planning for adapting AI in a nuclear fleet, and Developing Large Language Model (LLM) based generative AI solutions to assist in regulator paperwork related to nuclear power plants. In addition, our panelists will discuss their own best practices for addressing common challenges related to AI.
